Using a Laplace expansion along the first column, we have

[tex]\det Q=2\det\begin{bmatrix}2&1\\-1&6\end{bmatrix}+3\det\begin{bmatrix}3&4\\-1&6\end{bmatrix}+5\det\begin{bmatrix}3&4\\2&1\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

The determinant of a 2x2 matrix is trivial,

[tex]\det\begin{bmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}=ad-bc[/tex]

So we have

[tex]\det Q=2\cdot13+3\cdot22+5\cdot(-5)=67[/tex]
