The area enclosed by 2 x + 3 y = 6 2|x| + 3|y| = 6 is a rhombus having x-intercepts at ( ± 3 , 0 ) (\pm 3, 0) and y-intercepts at ( 0 , ± 2 ) (0, \pm 2) (see diagram below).

Therefore, the area is:

A = 4 × ( 3 × 2 2 ) = 12 A = 4 \times \left(\dfrac{3\times 2}{2}\right) = \boxed{12}

Thanks for the solution ,sir!
