The given function is,


f(x)=x

If the graph of a function f(x) is shifted k units horizontally to the left or to the right, then the new function g(x) is,


g(x)=f(x-k)

If k>0, the graph is shifted to the right.

If k<0, the graph is shifted to the left

Since f(x) is shifted 13 units to the left, then k=-13.

Since f(x)=x, the shifting of f(x) by 13 units to the left gives g(x) as,


\begin{gathered} g(x)=f(x-(-13)) \\ =f(x+13) \\ =x+13 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation of the new function g(x)=x+13.
