    How to find values of a variable of a plane

    Homework Statement I am given 3 planes 1) (3-a)x-2y-4z=0 2)-2x-(2+a)y+6z=0 3) 4x+6y-(1+a)z=0 The Attempt at a Solution So what i did was i expanded the equation 1) 3x-xa-2y-4z=0 2)-2x-27-ya+6z=0 3)4x+6y-z+az=0 and i used the elimination method using 3x-xa-2y-4z=0...
