= Solution

\b[Yes.] The <differential operator> $\mathcal L=2y\partial_x-x\partial_y$ is linear, even though its coefficients depend on position. For constants $A,B$,
$$
\mathcal L(Au_1+Bu_2)=A\mathcal Lu_1+B\mathcal Lu_2.
$$
If each homogeneous right-hand side is zero, so is their combination. Hence the <superposition principle> holds.
