I'm trying to solve and approximate the area between the two graphs. Right now, my functions are stored as
f[x_] := 3 Sin[x]
g[x_] := x - 1
and then I tried to integrate by evaluating
Integrate[Abs[f[x] - g[x]], x]
Instead of getting an answer, I just get the exact same thing I inputted
Integrate[Abs[f[x] - g[x]], x]
How do I fix this?

Use Assumptions:
Integrate[Abs[f[x] - g[x]], x, Assumptions -> x [Element] Reals]
Or try RealAbs instead of Abs:
Integrate[RealAbs[f[x] - g[x]], x]
(They are equivalent antiderivatives.)
To get the area between the graphs, you need also to solve for the points of intersection.
area = Integrate[
Abs[f[x] - g[x]], {x, Sequence @@ MinMax[x /. Solve[f[x] == g[x], x, Reals]]}]
The area is approximately:
N[area]

Assuming your functions
f[x_] := 3 Sin[x]
g[x_] := x - 1
are real valued, you can use square root of square to parametrize the absolute value. This then gives:
Integrate[Sqrt[(f[x] - g[x])^2], x]
(((-2 + x) x + 6 Cos[x]) Sqrt[(-1 + x - 3 Sin[x])^2])/(2 (-1 + x -
3 Sin[x]))
