Given the equation of plane \overrightarrow{r}.\left [ \left ( s-2t \right )\widehat{i}+(3-t) \widehat{j}+(2s+t)\widehat{k}\right ]=15

So we have to find the Cartesian equation,

Any point A (x,y,z) on this plane will satisfy the equation and its position vector given by,  \vec{r}=x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}-z\widehat{k}

Hence we have,

 (x\widehat{i}+y\widehat{j}+z\widehat{k}).\left [ \left ( s-2t \right )\widehat{i}+(3-t) \widehat{j}+(2s+t)\widehat{k}\right] =15

Or,  (s-2t)x+(3-t)y+(2s+t)z=15

Therefore this is the required Cartesian equation of the plane.
