URGENT LINEAR ALGEBRA HELP PLEASE

Linear algebra! Alright, so I've got the question and I've got the solution for the question but I wanted to know if anyone would be able to explain to me how this is done

Explanation / Answer

(24)

Let matrices A and B be similar , then there exists an invertible matrix P such that

B=P^{-1}AP

DetB=Det (P^{-1}AP)

=DetP^{-1}DetADetP

=DetADetP^{-1}DetP

=DetADet(P^{-1}P)

=DetADet(I)

=DetA*1

=Det(A)

Det(B)=Det(A)
