Let p⃗=2i^+j^+3k^\vec{p} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k} and q⃗=i^−j^+k^\vec{q} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} . If for some real numbers α\alpha , β\beta , and γ\gamma , we have 15i^+10j^+6k^=α(2p⃗+q⃗)+β(p⃗−2q⃗)+γ(p⃗×q⃗),15\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 6\hat{k} = \alpha(2\vec{p} + \vec{q}) + \beta(\vec{p} - 2\vec{q}) + \gamma(\vec{p} \times \vec{q}), then the value of γ\gamma is ________.
