The line y=13x+1y = \frac{1}{3}x + 1 divides the square region defined by 0x20 \leq x \leq 2 and 0y20 \leq y \leq 2 into an upper and lower region. The line x=ax=a divides the lower region into two regions of equal area. Then aa can be written as st\sqrt{s} - t , where ss and tt are positive integers. What is s+ts+t ?
