1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{3x+4}{x} - \frac{5}{6x} + \frac{9}{2x}$$.
2. **Identify the common denominator:** All terms have denominators involving $x$, so the common denominator is $6x$ (the least common multiple of $x$, $6x$, and $2x$).
3. **Rewrite each term with denominator $6x$:**
$$\frac{3x+4}{x} = \frac{(3x+4) \times 6}{6x} = \frac{18x + 24}{6x}$$
$$\frac{5}{6x} = \frac{5}{6x}$$ (already with denominator $6x$)
$$\frac{9}{2x} = \frac{9 \times 3}{2x \times 3} = \frac{27}{6x}$$
4. **Combine the fractions:**
$$\frac{18x + 24}{6x} - \frac{5}{6x} + \frac{27}{6x} = \frac{18x + 24 - 5 + 27}{6x} = \frac{18x + 46}{6x}$$
5. **Simplify the numerator if possible:**
The numerator $18x + 46$ can be factored as $2(9x + 23)$.
6. **Simplify the fraction by canceling common factors:**
$$\frac{18x + 46}{6x} = \frac{2(9x + 23)}{6x} = \frac{\cancel{2}(9x + 23)}{\cancel{2} \times 3 x} = \frac{9x + 23}{3x}$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{9x + 23}{3x}}$$
