Looks like a pretty simple question, let me know if I got it right!

(6+0+x)/3 = 3 and (0+0+y)/3 = 2 --> (3,6)

If the values of x are the result of the average of the x vertices, shouldn't it be (6+0)/2=3 in which case y would be (0+2+Y)/3=??

Can you please detail your solution?

Answer is (3,6).
This is actually a pretty simple question, but verbiage is confusing.

We've been told that values of x and y are average of respective vertices so value for x coordinate will be (6+0+x)/3 = 3.

Hope that helps!

(3,6) to my opinion. This question is just long and cumbersome.
