Evaluate ∫∫(x+y)dxdy over the region R enclosed by the line x=1, x=2, y=-x+2 and y=x+1

To evaluate the double integral \(\iint_R (x+y) \, dx \, dy\) over the region \(R\) enclosed by the lines \(x=1\), \(x=2\), \(y=-x+2\), and \(y=x+1\), we need to determine the bounds for the region \(R\) and set up the integral.

### Step 1: Determine the Region of Integration
The region \(R\) is bounded by the following lines:
1. \(x = 1\) (vertical line)
2. \(x = 2\) (vertical line)
3. \(y = -x + 2\) (a line with a negative slope)
4. \(y = x + 1\) (a line with a positive slope)

#### Intersection Points:
Let's find the intersection points of the lines \(y = -x + 2\) and \(y = x + 1\) to determine the exact bounds of \(y\) for a given \(x\).

Set \(y = -x + 2\) equal to \(y = x + 1\):
\[
-x + 2 = x + 1
\]
\[
2 = 2x + 1
\]
\[
x = \frac{1}{2}
\]
Substitute \(x = \frac{1}{2}\) into either equation to find \(y\):
\[
y = \frac{1}{2} + 1 = \frac{3}{2}
\]

So, the intersection point of the two lines is \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right)\).

### Step 2: Set Up the Double Integral
For \(x\) between 1 and 2, \(y\) will range between the lines \(y = x + 1\) (upper bound) and \(y = -x + 2\) (lower bound).

Therefore, the double integral is:
\[
\int_{x=1}^{2} \int_{y=-x+2}^{x+1} (x + y) \, dy \, dx
\]

### Step 3: Evaluate the Inner Integral
First, evaluate the inner integral with respect to \(y\):
\[
\int_{y=-x+2}^{x+1} (x + y) \, dy
\]
The antiderivative of \(x + y\) with respect to \(y\) is:
\[
\int (x + y) \, dy = xy + \frac{y^2}{2}
\]

Evaluate this from \(y = -x + 2\) to \(y = x + 1\):
\[
\left[ xy + \frac{y^2}{2} \right]_{y=-x+2}^{y=x+1} = \left[ x(x + 1) + \frac{(x + 1)^2}{2} \right] - \left[ x(-x + 2) + \frac{(-x + 2)^2}{2} \right]
\]

### Step 4: Simplify the Expression
Substitute and simplify each expression:

Upper bound \(y = x + 1\):
\[
x(x + 1) + \frac{(x + 1)^2}{2} = x^2 + x + \frac{x^2 + 2x + 1}{2} = x^2 + x + \frac{x^2}{2} + x + \frac{1}{2}
\]
\[
= \frac{3x^2}{2} + 2x + \frac{1}{2}
\]

Lower bound \(y = -x + 2\):
\[
x(-x + 2) + \frac{(-x + 2)^2}{2} = -x^2 + 2x + \frac{x^2 - 4x + 4}{2} = -x^2 + 2x + \frac{x^2}{2} - 2x + 2
\]
\[
= -\frac{x^2}{2} + 2
\]

Subtract the lower bound from the upper bound:
\[
\frac{3x^2}{2} + 2x + \frac{1}{2} - \left(-\frac{x^2}{2} + 2\right) = 2x^2 + 2x - \frac{3}{2}
\]

### Step 5: Integrate with Respect to \(x\)
Now, integrate this with respect to \(x\) from 1 to 2:
\[
\int_{1}^{2} \left(2x^2 + 2x - \frac{3}{2}\right) dx
\]

The antiderivative is:
\[
\frac{2x^3}{3} + x^2 - \frac{3x}{2}
\]

Evaluate from \(x = 1\) to \(x = 2\):
\[
\left[\frac{2(2)^3}{3} + (2)^2 - \frac{3(2)}{2}\right] - \left[\frac{2(1)^3}{3} + (1)^2 - \frac{3(1)}{2}\right]
\]
\[
= \left[\frac{16}{3} + 4 - 3\right] - \left[\frac{2}{3} + 1 - \frac{3}{2}\right]
\]
\[
= \left(\frac{16}{3} + 1\right) - \left(\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\right)
\]
Simplifying:
\[
= \frac{19}{3} - \frac{7}{6} = \frac{38}{6} - \frac{7}{6} = \frac{31}{6}
\]

### Final Answer:
The value of the double integral is \(\frac{31}{6}\).
