6 - 3x - 2y + xy

We factor this expression by making groups of 2 terms
= (6 - 3x) + (xy - 2y)

Now we take the common factors out from each group
= 3( 2-x) - y(2 - x)

( 2-x) is a common factor to each of the terms now,

= (2-x)(3-y)

color(green)( (2-x)(3-y)) is the Factorised form of 6 - 3x - 2y + xy
