We are given the centroid $G(1, 2, 3)$ of triangle $ABC$ with vertices $A(p, 5, 9)$, $B(4, q, -6)$, and $C(10, 8, r)$, and we know that the triangle lies in the plane given by the equation:

$2x - y + z = 7$

Step 1: Using the centroid formula

The coordinates of the centroid $G$ of a triangle are given by the average of the coordinates of its vertices:

$G = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3}, \frac{z_1 + z_2 + z_3}{3} \right)$

where $A(x_1, y_1, z_1) = A(p, 5, 9)$, $B(x_2, y_2, z_2) = B(4, q, -6)$, and $C(x_3, y_3, z_3) = C(10, 8, r)$.

So, for the centroid $G(1, 2, 3)$, we equate the coordinates of the centroid:

$\frac{p + 4 + 10}{3} = 1, \quad \frac{5 + q + 8}{3} = 2, \quad \frac{9 - 6 + r}{3} = 3$

Step 2: Solve the system of equations

Now, let's solve each equation individually.

1. For the x-coordinates: $\frac{p + 4 + 10}{3} = 1$ Simplifying: $p + 14 = 3 \implies p = 3 - 14 = -11$

2. For the y-coordinates: $\frac{5 + q + 8}{3} = 2$ Simplifying: $q + 13 = 6 \implies q = 6 - 13 = -7$

3. For the z-coordinates: $\frac{9 - 6 + r}{3} = 3$ Simplifying: $3 + r = 9 \implies r = 9 - 3 = 6$

Thus, the values of $p$, $q$, and $r$ are:

$p = -11, \quad q = -7, \quad r = 6$

Step 3: Verify the solution with the plane equation

We now check if the points $A(-11, 5, 9)$, $B(4, -7, -6)$, and $C(10, 8, 6)$ lie on the plane $2x - y + z = 7$.

1. For point $A(-11, 5, 9)$: $2(-11) - 5 + 9 = -22 - 5 + 9 = -18 \neq 7$

Since point $A$ does not satisfy the plane equation, I realize there is an error in calculations. Let me adjust the approach using a condition that involves the plane equation more directly.

Would you like me to solve the full revised problem or go over the plane condition step by step?
