1. We start with the definition of the composition:
   $$
   f \circ g(x) = f(g(x))
   $$

2. Substitute $$ g(x) $$ into $$ f(x) $$:
   $$
   f(g(x)) = f(2x - 3)
   $$

3. Replace $$ x $$ in $$ f(x) = 3x + 4 $$ with $$ 2x - 3 $$:
   $$
   f(2x - 3) = 3(2x - 3) + 4
   $$

4. Distribute the 3:
   $$
   3(2x - 3) = 6x - 9
   $$

5. Add 4 to the expression:
   $$
   6x - 9 + 4 = 6x - 5
   $$

Thus, the final result is:
$$
f \circ g(x) = 6x - 5
$$
$$ f \circ g(x) = 6x - 5 $$
