$\mathrm{\frac{x-a}{3}=\frac{y-b}{-4}=\frac{3-c}{12}=-\frac{2(3 a-4 b+12 c+19)}{3^{2}+4^{2}+12^{2}}}$

$\mathrm{\text { Here } x=a-6, y=\beta, z=\gamma} . \\$

$\mathrm{\Rightarrow \frac{a-6-a}{3}=\frac{\beta-b}{-4}=\frac{\gamma-c}{12}=\frac{-2(3 a-4 b+12 c+19)}{169}}$

$\mathrm{\Rightarrow 3 a-4 b+12 c =150 }\\$ .............(1)

$\mathrm{a+b+c =5} \\$

$\mathrm{\Rightarrow 3 a+3 b+3 c =15}$ .................(2)

Subtracting Eqn (1)-(2)

$\mathrm{ \Rightarrow 7 b-9 c=-135}$ .................(3)

$\mathrm{\frac{\beta-b}{-4}=-2 \Rightarrow b=\beta-8,} \\$

$\mathrm{\frac{\gamma-c}{12}=-2 \Rightarrow c=\gamma+24, }$

Substituting in (3)

$\mathrm{7(\beta-8) -9(\gamma+24)=-135} \\$

$\mathrm{\Rightarrow 7 \beta-9 \gamma =56+216-135 }\\$

$\mathrm{=272-135=137}$

So answer is $\mathrm{137}$
