On
The equation of a plane, through point $(x_0,y_0,z_0)$ and normal vector $\mathbf{n}$ is
$$
\mathbf{n} \cdot \left( {\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{x}_{\,0} } \right) = 0
$$
where clearly $\mathbf{x}=(x,y,z)$
So if you take $\mathbf{n} = \mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v}$, i.e.
$$
\mathbf{n} = \left( {1, - 1,1} \right) \times \left( {2, - 3,1} \right) = \left( {2,1, - 1} \right)
$$
and plug it into the general equation above (with $\mathbf{x}_{\,0}$ having the coordinates of $A$).
Hint...the normal to the new plane is the cross product of the normals of the given planes, since it is orthogonal to these. Then use $$\underline{r}\cdot\underline{n}=\underline{a}\cdot\underline{n}$$
