V_{a}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{3}}×V_{2}
V_{b}=V_{a}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}×V_{2}                                    (9.26)
Again,                   \frac{V_{1}-V_{b}}{R_{1}}=\frac{V_{b}-V_{o}}{R_{2}}                     (9.27)
From Eqs. (9.26) and (9.27)
\frac{V_{1}}{R_{1}}-\frac{V_{b}}{R_{1}}=\frac{V_{b}}{R_{2}}-\frac{V_{o}}{R_{2}}
when R_{1} = R_{2}
\frac{V_{1}}{R_{1}}-\frac{V_{b}}{R_{1}}=\frac{V_{b}}{R_{1}}-\frac{V_{o}}{R_{1}}
or,                          V_{o}= V_{1}- 2V_{b}.                                                        (9.28)
Again,                    V_{b}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}×V_{2}=\frac{R_{2}}{2R_{2}}V_{2}=\frac{V_{2}}{2}                        (9.29)
From Eqs. (9.28) and (9.29),
V_{o}= V_{1}- 2 × \frac{V_{2}}{2}
or,                          V_{o}= V_{1}-V_{2}
