Given that the image of Aa,b,c with respect to the plane 3 x-4 y+12 z+19=0 be B (a-6, β, γ)

The mid point of AB is  M lies on the plane 3 x-4 y+12 z+19=0

M=a-3, β+b2, γ+c2

6a-4b+12c-4β+12γ+20=0      

Since AB is parallel to normal of the plane then

63=b-β-4=c-γ12β=b+8, γ=c-24

Given a+b+c=5a+β-8+γ+24=5a=-β-γ-11

Now putting these values in 3 x-4 y+12 z+19=0 we get 

6(-β-γ-11)-4(β-8)+12(γ+24)-4β+12γ+20=0 7β-9γ=170-33=137
