The problem can be expressed as the following double integral

0 1 1 2 ( x + y ) d x d y \int_0^1 \! \int_1^2 \! (x + y) \, dx \, dy

Evaluating the inner integral

0 1 1 2 ( x + y ) d x d y = 0 1 [ 1 2 x 2 + y x ] 1 2 d y \int_0^1 \! \int_1^2 \! (x + y) \, dx \, dy = \int_0^1 \! [ \frac{1}{2} x^{2} + yx ]_1^2 \, dy = 0 1 ( 3 2 + y ) d y \int_0^1 (\frac{3}{2} + y) \, dy

Evaluating the outer integral

0 1 ( 3 2 + y ) d y = [ 3 2 y + 1 2 y 2 ] 0 1 = 3 2 + 1 2 = 2 \int_0^1 (\frac{3}{2} + y) \, dy = [ \frac{3}{2} y + \frac{1}{2} y^{2} ]_0^1 = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \boxed{2}
