Today I tried to plot a plane by using its coordinate form:
plot 3x+3y-2z=18
that worked pretty good and gave me the following result:

However I want to include another two planes into that surface plot by using:
plot 3x+3y-2z=18, 1x+3y-2z=5, 0x-6y+4z=3
I only got an error. What is wrong with my syntax?

In Mathematica, you would use the ContourPlot3D function for this ContourPlot3D: Create a 3D contour plot of a function—Wolfram Documentation
It may not be possible to create a 3D plot with multiple contours yet in Wolfram|Alpha, but I haven’t been able to do it yet.
Wolfram|Alpha doesn’t have a defined syntax, so there isn’t anything generally wrong with your input.

Thanks for your quick reply Sean.
It’s a real pitty that Wolfram|Alpha does not support plotting multiple planes. So the only option left is to buy mathematica?
With regards,

Jan gave very good advice. For multiple planes in one graph, Show[graphics,options] would also be needed. E.g.:
Show[ContourPlot3D[x == 2, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, {z, -5, 5}],
ContourPlot3D[y == 3, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, {z, -5, 5}],
ContourPlot3D[z == 4, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5}, {z, -5, 5}]]

You can plot two planes (but no more than two) in Wolfram|Alpha, by doing something like this:
plot (3x+3y-2z-18)(x+3y-2z-5)=0
Also try:
plot (x+y+z-10)(x+y/10+z-5)=0
