Let $$a, b, c$$ be in arithmetic progression. Let the centroid of the triangle with vertices $$(a, c)$$, $$(2, b)$$ and $$(a, b)$$ be $$\left(\frac{10}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)$$. If $$\alpha, \beta$$ are the roots of the equation $$ax^2 + bx + 1 = 0$$, then the value of $$\alpha^2 + \beta^2 - \alpha\beta$$ is:
