Given the following information:
[tex](a+3,b-1)=(-2,4)[/tex]We can find a and b as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} a+3=-2 \\ _{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}a\colon \\ a+3-3=-2-3 \\ a=-5 \\ ------- \\ b-1=4 \\ _{\text{ }}solve_{\text{ }}for_{\text{ }}b\colon \\ b-1+1=4+1 \\ b=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we know the values of a and b, we can find a+b:
[tex]a+b=-5+5=0[/tex]Answer:
(a) 0
