To solve $(2f - g)(x)$, we need to calculate the expression $2f(x) - g(x)$ for the given functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$.

Given Functions:

• $f(x) = x^2 - 5x$
• $g(x) = 4x + 1$

Step 1: Find $2f(x)$

Multiply $f(x)$ by 2: $2f(x) = 2(x^2 - 5x) = 2x^2 - 10x$

Step 2: Find $g(x)$

The function $g(x)$ is already given: $g(x) = 4x + 1$

Step 3: Compute $2f(x) - g(x)$

Now, subtract $g(x)$ from $2f(x)$: [ (2f - g)(x) = 2x^2 - 10x
