IRV (Inspiratory Reserve Volume) + ERV (Expiratory Reserve Volume) + TV (Tidal Volume) equals the total lung capacity minus the residual volume. The "V_T" in the question seems to be a typographical error or a placeholder for TV (Tidal Volume). For a healthy young male, this sum typically is around 4800 mL. Total lung capacity is approximately 6000 mL, and residual volume is about 1200 mL, so 6000 mL - 1200 mL = 4800 mL.
