Can a plane be perpendicular, at the same time, to two other planes if they’re not parallel to each other

analytic geometry

I need to find the equation of a plane that passes through a point and is perpendicular to two other planes (equations were given). To my understanding, if two planes are not parallel to each other, there is no plane or line that is, at the same time, perpendicular to those planes individually. So I need to interpret this as a plane that is perpendicular to the intersection of these two?

Use the cross product of the normals of the two given planes, and the given point that the third plane passes through, to form the dot-product vector equation of the third plane.
