Linear Models — BLUE of theta1 from combined sums

Let Xi,Yi,ZiX_i,Y_i,Z_i where i=1,2,3i=1,2,3 be nine independent observations with common variance σ2\sigma^2, and E(Xi)=θ1E(X_i)=\theta_1, E(Yi)=θ2E(Y_i)=\theta_2 and E(Zi)=θ1−θ2E(Z_i)=\theta_1-\theta_2; i=1,2,3i=1,2,3. Let X=∑i=13XiX=\sum_{i=1}^3 X_i, Y=∑i=13YiY=\sum_{i=1}^3 Y_i and Z=∑i=13ZiZ=\sum_{i=1}^3 Z_i. What is the BLUE of θ1\theta_1 equal to?
