If you found the mass, you're halfway there.
M = ∫ ρ(x,y) dA
The x-coordinate of the center of mass is just
Mx = ∫xρ(x,y) dA / M
and similarly for My.
Find center of mass of the lamina that occupies the region D and has the given density function ρ.
D is the triangular region with vertices (0, 0), (2, 1), (0, 3); ρ(x, y) = 5(x + y)
mass=30
