The region is bounded by the line y=2xy = 2x, the X-axis, and the vertical lines x=0x = 0 and x=5x = 5. Since y=2x≥0y = 2x \ge 0 throughout 0≤x≤50 \le x \le 5, the area is

A=∫05y dx=∫052x dx=[x2]05=25−0=25A = \int_0^5 y\,dx = \int_0^5 2x\,dx = \left[x^2\right]_0^5 = 25 - 0 = 25

The region is in fact a right triangle with base 55 and height 1010 (the value of yy at x=5x=5), and 12×5×10=25\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 10 = 25 checks the integral by elementary geometry.
