Let's work through this one step at a time.
You have the recurrence
T(en) = 2 T(en-1) + en
Now, let's do a variable substitution. Define k = en. Then we get
T(k) = 2T(k / e) + k
In this case, using the Master Theorem, we get that a = 2, b = e, and f(k) = k. Since logb a = ln 2 < 1 and f(k) = Θ(k), according to the Master Theorem the recurrence solves to S(k) = Θ(k).
If we now set k = n', where n' is the actual input to the function, then we get that T(n') = Θ(n), and we're done. So yes, the math checks out.
Hope this helps!
