The idea is that another function g(x) will produce x when the input to g(x) is 2x-1.

highlight_green%28g%28f%28x%29%29=f%28g%28x%29%29=highlight%282%2Ag%28x%29-1=x%29%29

Check that line of steps very carefully and try to understand. When you are comfortable with it, solve for g(x) in the red outlined part.
