factorise  i. 6x(2x – y) + 7y(2x – y)

ii. 2r(y – x) + s(x – y)
iii. 9a(6a – 5b) – 12a2(6a – 5b)
iv. (x – y)2 + (x – y)
v. a(x – y) + 2b(y – x) + c(x – y)2
vi. x3(a – 2b) + x2(a – 2b)

Let's go step by step to factorize each of these expressions:

---

### i. \( 6x(2x - y) + 7y(2x - y) \)

Here, both terms share the common factor \( (2x - y) \).

\[
6x(2x - y) + 7y(2x - y) = (2x - y)(6x + 7y)
\]

---

### ii. \( 2r(y - x) + s(x - y) \)

Notice that \( (x - y) \) is the negative of \( (y - x) \), so we can factor out \( (y - x) \) as a common factor.

\[
2r(y - x) + s(x - y) = 2r(y - x) - s(y - x) = (y - x)(2r - s)
\]

---

### iii. \( 9a(6a - 5b) - 12a^2(6a - 5b) \)

Here, we see that both terms share the common factor \( (6a - 5b) \), so we factor it out.

\[
9a(6a - 5b) - 12a^2(6a - 5b) = (6a - 5b)(9a - 12a^2)
\]

Factor the second term further:

\[
(6a - 5b)(3a(3 - 4a))
\]

---

### iv. \( (x - y)^2 + (x - y) \)

We can factor out the common factor \( (x - y) \):

\[
(x - y)^2 + (x - y) = (x - y)((x - y) + 1) = (x - y)(x - y + 1)
\]

---

### v. \( a(x - y) + 2b(y - x) + c(x - y)^2 \)

We notice that \( (y - x) = -(x - y) \), so we can rewrite the terms and factor them out.

\[
a(x - y) + 2b(y - x) + c(x - y)^2 = a(x - y) - 2b(x - y) + c(x - y)^2
\]

Factor out \( (x - y) \):

\[
= (x - y)(a - 2b + c(x - y))
\]

---

### vi. \( x^3(a - 2b) + x^2(a - 2b) \)

Factor out the common factor \( x^2(a - 2b) \):

\[
x^3(a - 2b) + x^2(a - 2b) = x^2(a - 2b)(x + 1)
\]

---

### Summary of Factorized Forms:
1. \( (2x - y)(6x + 7y) \)
2. \( (y - x)(2r - s) \)
3. \( (6a - 5b)(3a(3 - 4a)) \)
4. \( (x - y)(x - y + 1) \)
5. \( (x - y)(a - 2b + c(x - y)) \)
6. \( x^2(a - 2b)(x + 1) \)
