1. **State the problem:** Find the composite function $gf(x)$, which means applying $f$ first, then $g$ to the result.
2. **Recall the functions:**
$$f(x) = 2x - 1$$
$$g(x) = 3x + 2$$
3. **Write the composite function:**
$$gf(x) = g(f(x)) = g(2x - 1)$$
4. **Substitute $f(x)$ into $g$:**
$$gf(x) = 3(2x - 1) + 2$$
5. **Distribute the 3:**
$$gf(x) = 3 \times 2x - 3 \times 1 + 2 = 6x - 3 + 2$$
6. **Simplify the constants:**
$$gf(x) = 6x - 1$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{gf(x) = 6x - 1}$$
