    Finding the appropriate transformation to apply to an integral

    Wolfram suggests that the correct answer should be 2/9: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int+(sqrt(x%2By)(y-2x)^2)+dy+dx,+x%3D0+to+1,+y%3D0+to+1-x+ However, after evaluating my transformation, I got 1892/315, which Wolfram agreed with...
