I used the formula cos(theta)=n1(dot)n2/|n1|*|n2|
where n1=(5,-2,3) and n2=(2,-5-5)
in the end I did theta=arccos(5/sqrt(2052))
*********************
everything you did is just fine...except the problem was meant to fool you. Notice the second equation is written 2y - 5x -5z=2. In order to get the normal vector you should rearrange it so it looks like -5x+2y-5z=2. The correct normal vector is <-5,2,-5>.
