Solution: Keep in mind that there are two inverting and one non-inverting
amplifiers.Gain of whole system is G= G1*G2*G3
G1 non-inverting
Vo/Vin=(1+Rf1/R1)*(-Rf2/R2)*(-Rf3/R3)
G= (1+10k/5k)*(-5k/5k)*(100k/5k)
10.08/Vin=2*1*30= 60

11. How many op-amps are required to implement this equation?

 a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 1

Solution:
Only 1 because we can see that r3 and r2 will get cancel out and then remain a
equation with non inverting gain formula both in numerator and in denominator so
both cancels out to be 1.
This is the vout of the differential amplifier, just rewriting this equation, vo=((r2+r4)/
(r1+r3))(r3/r2)v1-(r4/r2)v2. Thus it needs only one op-amp.
