yay, integrals
so since the 2nd equation is in terms of y, we differntiate with respect to y
so we see that they intersect at y=0 and y=3
so
y=x is on top so

\int\limits^3_0 {y-(y^2-2y)} \, dy

\int\limits^3_0 {y-y^2+2y)} \, dy

\int\limits^3_0 {y^2+3y} \, dy

[ (1)/(3)y^3+ (3)/(2)y^2]^3_0
9/2 is the area
