The correct answer is: 83

On plotting the diagram of the given data we get,

Now given, x=y and y-2x=2

On solving we get, A(-2,-2)

Now height h of ABC = Distance of point A to origin,

h=-22+(-2)2

h=22

Given ABC is an equilateral triangle,

So, sinB=hAB

sin60°=hAB   (A=B=C=60°)

Area of Δ=34AB2

Area of Δ=34h2sin260=34×323

So, Area of ABC=83
