How do you find the volume of a solid where #x^2+y^2+z^2=9# is bounded in between the two planes #z+2x=2# and #z+2x=3#?

Explanation:
Cumbersome integration problems can be handled easily with the so called Monte Carlo method. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_integration
This method works as follows.
1) Choose a box which contains the area/volume to be measured
2) Define the area/volume borders/restrictions
3) Generate inside the box, random values for the coordinates.
a) If for this point the restrictions are obeyed, consider this as a successful one
4)Given de box volume
In this case we have the restrictions defining the sought volume
A python program is attached showing the main details.
The result is
Explanation:
The present case can be simplified by a coordinate transformation.
