#9/2 units^2#

Explanation:

Claculating the intersection Points:
#x(2-x)=-x#
so we get
#x(3-x)=0#
So we have
#x_1=0#
or
#x_2=3#
and we have
#int_0^3(x(2-x)+x)dx=int_0^3(3x-x^2)dx=9/2#

#A=int_0^3(3y-y^2)*dy=[3/2y^2-1/3y^3]_0^3=9/2#

Explanation:

The area between two curves due to y-axis is given by :

#color(red)[A=int_a^bx_2-x_1*dy#

#x_2=2y-y^2#

#x_1=-y#

lets find the cross between the curves:

#2y-y^2=-y rArr y^2-3y=0 rArr y(y-3)=0#

#y=3 or y=0#

#A=int_0^3(2y-y^2)-(-y)*dy#

#A=int_0^3(3y-y^2)*dy=[3/2y^2-1/3y^3]_0^3=9/2#

show the wanted area below (shaded):

#x_2=2y-y^2# red curve(green)

#x_1=-y# blue curve
