what is g(f(x)) if:
f(x)=3x-5
g(x)=13
is it no solution?

f(x) = 3x - 5
g(x) = 13
Write it out.
g(f(x))
Substitute f(x) with what it is defined as
g(3x - 5)
Now, solve using the definition of g(x). Since there is no variable involved in g(x), then it is 13 no matter what. That is,
g(3x - 5) = 13

In g ( x ) = 13, there is no x.
It means that g ( x ) has a constant value of 13 for any value of x.
Therefore g [ f ( x ) ] is also 13.

Well, g(x) is constant funciton. So g(anything) = 13.

since there is no x in g(x)=13, therefore, g(f(x)) will also be the same.
g(x)=g(f(x))=13

f(g(x))= 3(13)-5= 34
g(f(x))= 13

Since there is no occurrence of x in "g(x)" there is no solution.
