To find the volume of the solid bounded by the surfaces

z = 5 - 2 x - y

,

z = 0

, and

y^{2} = 3 x

, we need to determine the limits of integration for each variable.
First, let's analyze the given surfaces. The equation

z = 5 - 2 x - y

represents a plane, and

z = 0

represents the xy-plane. The equation

y^{2} = 3 x

represents a parabolic curve in the xy-plane.
To find the limits of integration, we need to determine the region of the xy-plane bounded by the curve

y^{2} = 3 x

.
By examining the curve, we can see that it is a parabola that opens to the right. The vertex of the parabola is at the origin (0,0), and the curve extends infinitely in the positive x-direction.
Next, we need to find the limits of integration for the variables x and y.
For x, we can integrate from the vertex of the parabola (x = 0) to a certain x-value that determines the boundary of the region.
For y, we can integrate from the curve

y = \sqrt{3 x}

to the curve

y = - \sqrt{3 x}

.
To find the x-value that determines the boundary of the region, we can set

y = 0

in the equation

y^{2} = 3 x

and solve for x:

0^{2} = 3 x

This gives us

x = 0

.
Therefore, the limits of integration for x are from 0 to some x-value that determines the boundary of the region.
Now, let's set up the integral to calculate the volume:

V = \int \int \int d z d y d x

Since the region is bounded by the plane

z = 5 - 2 x - y

and the xy-plane

z = 0

, the limits of integration for z are from 0 to

5 - 2 x - y

.
For y, the limits of integration are from

- \sqrt{3 x}

to

\sqrt{3 x}

.
For x, the limits of integration are from 0 to the x-value that determines the boundary of the region.
Putting it all together, the volume can be calculated as:

V = \int_{0}^{x_{max}} \int_{- \sqrt{3 x}}^{\sqrt{3 x}} \int_{0}^{5 - 2 x - y} d z d y d x

Now, we can evaluate this triple integral to find the volume of the solid. However, without knowing the specific value for

x_{max}

, we cannot determine the exact volume at this point.
To find the value of

x_{max}

, we would need additional information or constraints specified in the problem.
Hence, the volume of the solid bounded by the given surfaces can be found by evaluating the triple integral with the appropriate limits of integration once the specific value for

x_{max}

is provided.
