how do I evaluate the double integral 2x + y dA over the region R bounded by y = 3x, 2X + y = 5, x = 0, and y = 0

Thanks...should be 2x + y = 5
 
over the region R bounded by y = 3x, 2X + y = 5, x = 0, and y = 0

Region R is bounded by either x = 0 or y = 0 ... how is it bounded by both axes and the two given lines?

Agreed! I think the teacher made a mistake with the problem. The given answer (no steps shown) is -2875/6. I am thinking there is an error in how the question is asked.
 
The lines y= 3x and 2x+ y= 5 form one triangle with x= 0 and another with y= 0. But both of those are in the first quadrant where x and y have only positive values. The integral of (2x+ y) dA can't be negative over either of them.
