How to Calculate Determinants for a Matrix with Linear Algebra?

[Perrry]

Let $$\begin{gather*}A_n\end{gather*}$$ be an nxn matrix with the matrixelement $$\begin{gather*}a_ik\end{gather*}$$=i+k, i, k = 1, ... ,n. Decide for every value the n-determinant $$\begin{gather*}D_n\end{gather*}$$ = det($$\begin{gather*}A_n\end{gather*}$$). Don´t forget the value of n=1.

We are two guys here at home that don´t get it right. What shall we start with? We are both newbies on this!

Thanks in advance
