A hint to get started
Separate a unique triple intersection from a common line
The planes are , , , respectively. Here are constants. When , , find x,y,z satisfying all three equations.
The first two planes meet in a line l.
(i) Find a vector equation of l.
(ii) If contains l, find .
(iii) If instead does not intersect l, what can be said about ?
(iv) Find a Cartesian equation of the plane containing l and .
