The voltage at the node circled is the output voltage of the OpAmp V o u t . The given OpAmp circuit is a non-inverting OpAmp configuration . The closed loop voltage gain of the non-inverting OpAmp is given by:
A V V i n V o u t V o u t = R 4 R 5 + R 4 = 1 0 0 2 0 0 + 1 0 0 = 3 V i n
To find V i n , we note that the current flowing in the non-inverting input (marked "+") is zero. Then we have:
R 1 V 1 − V i n + R 2 V 2 − V i n + R 3 V 3 − V i n 1 0 0 2 − V i n + 1 0 0 − 1 . 2 − V i n + 1 0 0 3 . 2 − V i n 2 − 1 . 2 + 3 . 2 − 3 V i n ⟹ V i n = 0 = 0 = 0 = 3 4 V
Therefore, V o u t = 3 V i n = 3 × 3 4 = 4 V .

We know that the voltage at the non-inverting input is V + = 3 4 . Therefore, the voltage at the inverting input is V − = 3 4 . We also know that the current into the inverting input must be zero.
2 0 0 V − 4 / 3 + 1 0 0 0 − 4 / 3 = 0
Solving results in V = 4
