### Volume of a Solid of Revolution

#### Problem Statement:
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the graphs of the equations about the y-axis.

#### Given Equations:
1. \( y = 2(3 - x) \)
2. \( y = 0 \)
3. \( x = 0 \)

### Steps for Solution:

1. **Sketch the Region:**
   - The first equation \( y = 2(3 - x) \) is a linear equation. It can be rewritten as \( y = 6 - 2x \), which is a straight line with a y-intercept of 6 and a slope of -2.
   - The second equation \( y = 0 \) is the x-axis.
   - The third equation \( x = 0 \) is the y-axis.

   The region enclosed by these equations forms a triangle with vertices at \( (0, 0) \), \( (0, 6) \), and \( (3, 0) \).

2. **Setting Up the Integral:**
   Since we're revolving about the y-axis, we switch the variable to \( x \). Therefore, we solve for \( x \) from the equation \( y = 6 - 2x \):

   \[
   y = 6 - 2x \implies x = \frac{6 - y}{2}
   \]

   - The limits for \( y \) will go from 0 to 6.

3. **Volume of the Solid:**
   The formula for the volume \( V \) of a solid of revolution about the y-axis is given by:

   \[
   V = \pi \int_{a}^{b} [f(y)]^2 \, dy
   \]

   In this case, \( f(y) = \frac{6 - y}{2} \).

   So, the volume integral becomes:

   \[
   V = \pi \int_{0}^{6} \left( \frac{6 - y}{2} \right)^2 dy
   \]

4. **Evaluate the Integral:**

   \[
   V = \pi \int_{0}^{6} \left( \frac{6 - y}{2} \right)^2 \, dy = \pi \int_{0}^{6} \frac{(6 - y)^
