  You should probably add more context, this way it is not clear for what do you want this, for example $g(x)=x$ and $f(x)=2^x+5$ would satisfy your requirements, but I doubt it is of any use.

  Well that's really all that was in the question. Basically it said the expression for the composition of f(x) and g(x) is that, and it asked to find expressions for f(x) and g(x)

Without more context, there are, of course, many solutions. For example, a rather trivial one would be $f(x)=x, g(x)=2^x+5$ (or switch the two around) or $f(x)=2^x$ and $g(x)=x+5$. More examples include $f(x)=2^x+t, g(x)=x+5-t$ for any fixed $t$, $g(x)=2^2x+10, f(x)=sqrtx$, etc.

While there are infinitely-many functions $f,g$ that would do the trick, this is probably intended to give you practice choosing fairly basic (even fundamental) examples, but without just choosing one of them to be the identity function. Clearly, we'll need one of our functions to be $2^textsomething involving x$ in order for that to happen. Ideally, we'd like it to be simply $2^x.$ But which one should it be? Well, it turns out not to matter.

If we make $f(x)=2^x,$ then $fbigl(g(x)bigr)=2^g(x),$ so we'd need $g(x)=x+5.$

On the other hand, if we made $g(x)=2^x,$ then we'd have $fbigl(g(x)bigr)=fleft(2^xright),$ but what can we do to $2^x$ to turn it into $2^x+5$? Well, remember your exponent rules: $2^x+5=2^xcdot 2^5=2^xcdot 32.$ Thus, we need $f(x)=32x.$
