Answer

$T$ is not invertible.

Work Step by Step

Take the standard basis for $R^2,$ which is $\{(1,0),(0,1)\}=\{e_1,e_2\}$ We are given $T(x,y)=(x+y,3x+3y)$ Then, we have $T(1,0)=(1,3)\\ T(0,1)=(1,3)$ Therefore, the matrix corresponding to the linear transformation $T$ is given by: $A=[T(e_1)$ $T(e_2)]$ $=\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { 1}&1\\ 3&{ 3} \end{array}} \right]$ Since $A$ is not invertible, then $T$ is not invertible.
