Heath , Here is one way:
 First get z=f(x,y) for all your planes
sol = Flatten[
    Map[z /. Solve[#, z] &, {3x - 2y + 4z - 3 == 0, 2x - 4y + 3z == 1,
        x - 3y + 2z == 5}]]
Then generate a plot for each plane , supressing the output with the
DisplayFunction option
plts = Table[
    Plot3D[{sol[[i]], RGBColor[1/(2i), 1/i, 0]}, {x, -3, 4}, {y, -3, 3},
      DisplayFunction -> Identity], {i, 1, 3}]
Then use Show to display the the plots together
Show[plts, DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction,
  ViewPoint -> {4.011, 1.453, 2.415}]
Cheers,
Brian
