Please help. The first input argument of the "tf" command cannot be a string.

Error using tf
Invalid syntax. The first input argument of the "tf" command cannot be a string.

As I indicated earlier, the Control System Toolbox has absolutely no ability to work with variables with unknown value. I discussed what is available in https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/305339-how-to-create-a-transfer-function-with-gain-k#comment_395202

Besides of using 'k' for tf, there is another syntax error in T2. See the corrected core here:
clear, clc
G1=tf([1],[1 0 5])
G2=tf([10],[1])
G3=tf('s')
G4=tf([1 1],[1 0])
H1=tf([1 0],[1])
H2=tf([1 5],[1])
TR1=feedback(G1,H1,-1)
T1=series(TR1,G2)
TR2=feedback(T1,H2,-1)
T2=series(TR2,G3) % T2=series(TR2*G3) leads to "Not enough input arguments"

If you want to use a user prompt then it should be in this way (Note that just numerical input prompt won't work):
Try:
G3N = 1 1
G3D = 1 2 3
enter numerator coefficients: 1 1
enter denominiator coefficients: 1 2 3
G3N = input('enter numerator coefficients: ', 's' );
G3D = input('enter denominiator coefficients: ', 's');
G3 = tf(str2num(G3N), str2num(G3D))
G3 =
s + 1
-------------
s^2 + 2 s + 3

Hi @Melissa
Variable K doesn't a specific value, I want multiply K other variables like TR2...
From the root locus, it appears that the closed-loop system system will be stable for any value of the gain parameter K.
G1 = tf([1],[1 0 5]);
G2 = tf([10],[1]);
% G3 = tf('k') % <-- it seems that you want to multiply k with TR2 at the end
H1 = tf([1 0],[1]);
H2 = tf([1 5],[1]);
TR1 = feedback(G1, H1);
T1 = series(TR1, G2);
rlocus(T1*H2)
% T2 = series(TR2*G3)
