The correct answer is: -23

Given plane equations are 

3x-2y+4z-7 = 0 & x+5y-2z+9=0

Family of planes P1+λP2=0

  (3x-2y+4z-7)+λ(x+5y-2z+9)=0
Passing through the point (1,4,-3)
  (3-8-12-7)+λ(1+20+6+9)=0

  λ=2436=23

Required equation of plane is 3+23x+y-2+103+z4-43-7+6=0

   -11x-4y-8z+3=0

Given equation is αx+βy+γz+3=0

By comparing above equations

So, α+β+γ=-23
