SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on evaluating the triple integral \(\int\int\int_{Q}(1-x) \, dz \, dy \, dx\) over the solid Q in the first octant, bounded by the plane defined by the equation \(3x + 2y + z = 6\). The correct limits for the integral are established as \(z\) from 0 to \(6 - 3x - 2y\), \(y\) from 0 to \(-\frac{3}{2}x + 3\), and \(x\) from 0 to 2. The final computed value of the integral is confirmed to be 3 after resolving the limits and performing the necessary algebraic calculations.
