If A-3 and a + 1 are opposite to each other, then a=______ .

If A-3 and a + 1 are opposite to each other, then a=______ .

∵ A-3 and a + 1 are opposite to each other, ∵ (A-3) + (a + 1) = 0, A-3 + A + 1 = 0 is obtained by removing brackets, 2A = 2 is obtained by moving items and combining items, and a = 1 is obtained by coefficient
