My answers are not 100% Valid but here is my answer and response;
Answer: (4,-2)
To get x substitute 0 for y since you’re trying to find x, 0+3=1/2(x+2) add 0 with 3 to get 3 so 3=1/2(x+2) then use distributive property with 1/2 (x•1/2 = x/2) (2•1/2 = 1) so then the equation would look like this 3=x/2+1 subtract one from both side and get 2=x/2 then multiply everything by 2 to get x=4
With y you can substitute 4 or 0 for x to find your answer
