Undeleted (but see UPDATE)Deleted
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4971222/for-which-values-is-this-matrix-invertible presents a $5\times5$ matrix, most of whose entries are literals, and asks for conditions on these entries such that the matrix will be invertible. OP is aware that this can be seen as a question about the determinant of the matrix, but has difficulty computing this determinant (most likely because of all the non-numerical entries, and most likely OP tried to do the computation by hand instead of by machine). The question has been closed and deleted. I would like to see the question undeleted and, once undeleted, reopened.
Full disclosure: I posted an answer to the question.
UPDATE: The question has been deleted three times, and undeleted twice. My answer has seven upvotes and one downvote, and was accepted by the user who posted the question. Once again, I ask for undeletion.
