What Is a Linear System

A linear system has to satisfy these contions:
If the inputs x1(t),x2(t),(x1[n],x2[n]) multiplied/divided by any constant a,b, then the output y1(t),y2(t),(y1[n],y2[n]) will yield a*x1(t)+b*x2(t) --> a*y1(t)+b*y2(t) and respectively

Example

Given: x1(t)=t, x2(t)=5

System: y(t)=2*x(t)

Thus, y1(t)=2t,y2(t)=10t
So say a,b are any non-zero constant
a*x1(t)-> system ->2at
b*x2(t)-> system ->10bt
Therefore, the output is 2at + 10bt

a*x1(t)+b*x2(t)=at+5bt-> system ->Output=2*(at+2bt)= 2at + 10bt
