For 2009 your equity is: Assets minus liabilities. So $400,000 - 250,000 = $150,000 and your owners investment was $100,000 which means that $150,000 Owners Equity contains $100,000 investment, so the other $50,000 is net income for year 2009.

Just use the ending 2009 numbers for assets, liabilities, owners equity and your ending 2010 numbers with any additional information to solve for your missing amounts for year 2010. For 2011 you will use ending 2010 numbers and ending 2011 numbers with any additional information provided to solve for the missing 2011 amounts.
