Answer:

The answer is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to form simultaneous equations :

[tex]3 + a = 4 - b[/tex]

[tex]a + b = 1 - - - (1)[/tex]

[tex]4 + b = 7 + a[/tex]

[tex]a - b = - 3 - - - (2)[/tex]

Next, you have to solve it :

[tex](1) - (2)[/tex]

[tex]a + b - (a - b) = 1 - ( - 3)[/tex]

[tex]2b = 4[/tex]

[tex]b = 2[/tex]

[tex]sub \: \: b \: = 2 \: \: into \: \: (1)[/tex]

[tex]a + 2 = 1[/tex]

[tex]a = 1 - 2[/tex]

[tex]a = - 1[/tex]

Lastly, you have to substitute a-value into the expression :

[tex]3 - a = 3 - ( - 1) = 4[/tex]
