Basically, you want to take the integral of each interval and compare them. The two intervals with the same integral represent equal displacement of the particle. And since delta(x) is always 2, all you have to do is average the initial and final velocities of each interval and multiply by two to find total displacement.
Hope it helped.
Edit to show calculations:
2 * [ (0 + 10)/2 ] = 10 for interval AB
2 * [ (7 + 3)/2 ] = 10 for interval DE

Answer:
Mass = 18.0 kg
Explanation:
From Hooke's law,
F = ke
where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.
But, F = mg
So that,
mg = ke
On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/
.
3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0
30 = 5k
⇒ k =
................ 1
On the Moon, the gravitational force is
of that on the Earth.
m x
= k x 5.0
= 5k
⇒ k =
............. 2
Equating 1 and 2, we have;
= 
m = 
= 18.0
m = 18.0 kg
The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.
The weight of an object is the force of gravity between Earth's
mass and the object's mass.
The forces of gravity always come in equal, opposite pairs.
The Earth's weight on the object is the same as the object's
weight on the Earth, and when the object falls to Earth, Earth
falls to the object.
