The figure is as shown above.

x1 + x2 = 2 × 3 = 6 …..(1)

x1 + x3 = 2 × 1 = 2 …..(2)

x2 + x3 = 2 × 5 = 10 …..(3)

Equation 1 – Equation 2 gives us

x2 – x3 = 4 …..(4)

Equation 3 + Equation 4,

2x2 = 14 ⇒ x2 = 7

∴ x1 = -1 and x3 = 3

Similarly,

y1 + y2 = 2 × -1 = -2 …..(5)

y1 + y3 = 2 × -3 = -6 …..(6)

y2 + y3 = 2 × 3 = 6 …..(7)

Equation 5 – Equation 6 gives us

y2 – y3 = 4 …..(8)

Equation 7 + Equation 8,

2y2 = 10 ⇒ y2 = 5

∴ y1 = -7 and y3 = 1
