**Problem Statement:**

1. Find an equation for the plane passing through the point (3, 1, 2) with normal vector \(i + 2j + 7k\). Put the answer into the form \(Ax + By + Cz = D\).

**Solution Approach:**

To find the equation of a plane given a point and a normal vector, you can use the following general formula for the equation of a plane:

\[ A(x - x_0) + B(y - y_0) + C(z - z_0) = 0 \]

where \((x_0, y_0, z_0)\) is the given point and \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are the components of the normal vector.

Given:
- Point: \((x_0, y_0, z_0) = (3, 1, 2)\)
- Normal vector: \(\langle A, B, C \rangle = \langle 1, 2, 7 \rangle\)

Plug these values into the formula to obtain the equation of the plane.

**Detailed Explanation:**

Substitute the values into the plane equation:
\[ 1(x - 3) + 2(y - 1) + 7(z - 2) = 0 \]

Simplify the equation:
\[ (x - 3) + 2(y - 1) + 7(z - 2) = 0 \]
\[ x - 3 + 2y - 2 + 7z - 14 = 0 \]
\[ x + 2y + 7z - 19 = 0 \]

Thus, the equation of the plane is:
\[ x + 2y + 7z = 19 \]
