Answer

$x-2=-2$

Work Step by Step

The plane containing the point $P(p,q,r)$ and having the normal vector $n=\lt a,b,c\gt$ is expressed algebraically by the equation as follows: $a(x-p)+b(y-q)+c(z-r)=0$ Here, the normal vector $n$ can be calculated as follows: $\hat{n}=\begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\2&2&2\\-3&-5&-3\end{vmatrix}=4\hat{i}-4\hat{k}$ The plane containing the point $P(3,4,5)$ and having the normal vector $n=\lt 4,0,-4\gt$ is expressed algebraically by the equation as follows: $4(x-3)+0(y-4)+(-4)(z-5)=0$ or, $4x-4z-12+20= 0$ Thus, $x-2=-2$
