A system is call linear if the system is "distributive".

Ex. The system is y(t)=2x(t+3).

The output of the signal x1(t)=t is y1(t)=2(t+3)=2t+6. The output of the signal x2(t)=t-1 is y2(t)=2(t+3-1)=2t+4.

What is the output of the signal x(t)=x1(t)+x2(t)=t+t-1?

y(t)=2(2(t+3)-1)=2(2t+5)=4t+10

This system is linear beacause

y(t)=4t+10 y1(t)+y2(t)=2t+6+2t+4=4t+10
