Step 1 — set up the integral. For 0≤x≤20\le x\le 2, y=2x+3y=2x+3 is positive (it ranges from 33 up to 77), so

A=∫02(2x+3) dxA=\int_{0}^{2}(2x+3)\,dx

Step 2 — integrate term by term.

∫(2x+3) dx=2⋅x22+3x=x2+3x\int(2x+3)\,dx = 2\cdot\frac{x^{2}}{2}+3x = x^{2}+3x

Step 3 — apply the limits.

A=[x2+3x]02=(22+3⋅2)−(0+0)=(4+6)−0=10A=\big[x^{2}+3x\big]_{0}^{2} = \big(2^{2}+3\cdot2\big)-\big(0+0\big) = (4+6)-0 = 10

✓Final answer

The area of the region is 1010 square units.
