The primal point $x=(1/2,1/2,0)$ is feasible and has value $5/2$. The dual point $y=(1/2,3/2)$ is feasible because
$$
A^Ty=(2,3,13/2)^T\ge(2,3,4)^T,
$$
and has value $2(1/2)+3/2=5/2$. Weak duality proves both are optimal. Thus the requested optimal primal solution is
$$
\boxed{x_1=x_2=\frac12,\qquad x_3=0.}
$$
