No.

Explanation:

To check whether (2,2) is a solution to given set of equations or not, one need to put the values x=2 (the first number) and y=2 (the second number) in each equation and check whether they are satisfied or not.

In the first equation 3x-y=4, we have

3xx2-2=6-2=4, hence this is satisfied.

But for 2x+y=1,

we get 2xx2+2=4+2=6 and not 1

hence second equation is not satisfied.

As for (2,2) to be solution for system of equations, it should satisfy both the equations, answer is No.
