Examples

A Linear System:

$ y(t) = 2x(2t) $

x1(t) -> Ax1(t)
                |+|  Ax(t) + Bx(t) -System-> 2Ax1(2t) + 2Bx2(2t) 
x2(t) -> Bx2(t)

x1(t) -System-> 2x1(2t) -> 2Ax1(2t)
                                    |+|  2Ax1(2t) + 2Bx2(2t)
x2(t) -System-> 2x2(2t) -> 2Bx2(2t) 

Therefore, this system is linear
