Linear Models — BLUE of second parameter

Consider the following for the next two (02) items: Let XiX_i, YiY_i and ZiZ_i; i=1,2,3i = 1, 2, 3 be 9 independent observations with common variance σ2\sigma^2, and E(Xi)=θ1−θ2\mathbb{E}(X_i) = \theta_1 - \theta_2, E(Yi)=θ2\mathbb{E}(Y_i) = \theta_2, E(Zi)=θ1+θ2\mathbb{E}(Z_i) = \theta_1 + \theta_2; i=1,2,3i = 1, 2, 3. Let XX, YY and ZZ respectively denote ∑i=13Xi\sum_{i=1}^{3}X_i, ∑i=13Yi\sum_{i=1}^{3}Y_i and ∑i=13Zi\sum_{i=1}^{3}Z_i. What is BLUE of θ2\theta_2?
