How Did They Derive the Equation Using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on deriving an equation using Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) in a circuit involving resistors R3 and R4. It emphasizes that KVL should be applied to a complete loop rather than at a single point, and the specific loop containing R3 and R4 is highlighted. Participants are encouraged to redraw the circuit for clarity and perform mesh analysis while accurately modeling the op-amp. A suggestion is made to start the KVL equation with a sum that equals zero, taking into account the direction of current flow. This approach aids in rearranging the equation to find the desired output.

I know they use kirchhoffs voltage law but at which point they are choosing and how they are going and acquire this equation.?

You don't apply the voltage law at a point - you apply it to a loop.
They tell you which loop they applied it to - the one containing R4 and R3.

Redraw the circuit diagram so the loop containing R4 and R3 looks like a loop and do the mesh analysis - don't forget to appropriately model the op-amp.
 
Hint: Remember that all ground symbols are connected to each other.
 
I find it helps by writing a KVL sum so it adds to zero. Then rearrage it. Don't start by writing "Vo = "

eg start with an equation of the form...

(v1) + (v2) + (v3)... = 0

Remembering that v1,v2, or v3... might be negative depending on which direction is defined as positive current.
