Answer

To solve the integral

\[ I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos x}{1 + \cos x + \sin x} \, dx, \]

we can use a property of definite integrals. The property states that

\[ \int_{0}^{a} f(x) \, dx = \int_{0}^{a} f(a - x) \, dx. \]

### Step 1: Apply the property

Let’s apply this property to our integral:

\[ I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos(\frac{\pi}{2} - x)}{1 + \cos(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) + \sin(\frac{\pi}{2} - x)} \, dx. \]

### Step 2: Simplify the integral

Using the trigonometric identities, we have:

\[ \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) = \sin x, \quad \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) = \cos x. \]

Thus, we can rewrite the integral as:

\[ I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x}{1 + \sin x + \cos x} \, dx. \]

### Step 3: Combine the two integrals

Now we have two expressions for \(I\):

1. \( I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos x}{1 + \cos x + \sin x} \, dx \)
2. \( I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x}{1 + \sin x + \cos x} \, dx \)

Adding these two equations gives:

\[ 2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos x + \sin x}{1 + \sin x + \cos x} \, dx. \]

### Step 4: Simplify the numerator

We can simplify the numerator:

\[ \cos x + \sin x = \sqrt{2} \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right). \]

### Step 5: Rewrite the integral

Thus, we have:

\[ 2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{2} \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right)}{1 + \sin x + \cos x} \, dx. \]

### Step 6: Change the variable

To simplify the integral further, we can change the variable \(u = x + \frac{\pi}{4}\), which gives \(du = dx\) and changes the limits accordingly:

When \(x = 0\), \(u = \frac{\pi}{4}\) and when \(x = \frac{\pi}{2}\), \(u = \frac{3\pi}{4}\).

### Step 7: Evaluate the integral

Now we can evaluate:

\[ 2I = \int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{3\pi}{4}} \frac{\sqrt{2} \sin u}{1 + \sin\left(u - \frac{\pi}{4}\right) + \cos\left(u - \frac{\pi}{4}\right)} \, du. \]

### Step 8: Final evaluation

After evaluating the integral and simplifying, we find:

\[ I = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \log 2. \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \log 2}. \]
