Answer

$x+y+z=2$

Work Step by Step

The vector between $(0,1,1)$ and $(1,0,1)$ is $\lt1,-1,0\gt$. The vector between $(1,1,0)$ and $(1,0,1)$ is $\lt0,-1,1\gt$. After taking the cross product of the direction vectors, we get $\lt1,1,1\gt $. The general form of the equation of the plane is: $a(x-x_0)+b(y-y_0)+c(z-z_0)=0$ or, $ax+by+cz=ax_0+by_0+cz_0$ Plugging in the given values, we get $(x-0)+(y-1)+(z-1)=0$ After simplification, we get $x+y+z=2$
