The upper limit of the integration will be where the curves intersect.

That is where 6x - x^2 = 4x.


x^2 -2x = x(x-2) = 0
x = 0 or 2
Now calculate
int(6x-x^2)-(4x)dx from 0 to 2
= int (2x - x^2) dx from 0 to 2
= [x^2 - x^3/3]@x=2 - 0
(Since the value of the indefinite integral in brackets, at x = 0, is 0)
= 4 - (8/3)
= 4/3
