Mathematics Question on complex numbers

Let the equation of the plane passing through the line x2yz5=0=x+y+3z5x-2 y-z-5=0=x+y+3 z-5 and parallel to the line x+y+2z7=0=2x+3y+z2x+y+2 z-7=0=2 x+3 y+z-2 be ax+by+cz=65a x+b y+c z=65 Then the distance of the point (a,b,c)(a, b, c) from the plane 2x+2yz+16=02 x+2 y-z+16=0 is _______

Answer

The correct answer is 9.
Equation of plane is
(x−2y−z−5)+b(x+y+3z−5)=0
∣∣​1+b12​−2+b13​−1+3b21​∣∣​=0
⇒b=12
∴ plane is 13x+10y+35z=65
Distance from given point to plane =9
