The planes are parallel; scaling the second to match the first and using the parallel-plane distance formula gives 169\dfrac{16}{9}.

The planes are x−2y+2z=6x-2y+2z=6 and 3x−6y+6z=23x-6y+6z=2.

Step 1 — check parallel: dividing the second by 33 gives x−2y+2z=23x-2y+2z=\dfrac{2}{3}. Both have normal (1,−2,2)(1,-2,2), so they are parallel.

Step 2 — apply d=∣d1−d2∣A2+B2+C2d = \dfrac{|d_1-d_2|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2+C^2}} with d1=6,  d2=23d_1=6,\;d_2=\dfrac{2}{3} and normal (1,−2,2)(1,-2,2).
