Factorize (x – 2y)^3 + (2y – 3z)^3 + (3z – x)^3

Factorize the following expression : \( (x – 2y)^3 + (2y – 3z)^3 + (3z – x)^3 \)

\[ (x – 2y)^3 + (2y – 3z)^3 + (3z – x)^3 \] \[ \text{Let } a = (x – 2y),\quad b = (2y – 3z),\quad c = (3z – x) \] \[ a + b + c = 0 \] \[ \therefore a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 3abc \] \[ = 3(x – 2y)(2y – 3z)(3z – x) \]
