1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{6 + \frac{1}{x}}{5 - \frac{1}{x}}$$ and find values of $x$ for which the expression is undefined.
2. **Rewrite the expression:** To simplify, multiply numerator and denominator by $x$ to clear the fractions:
$$\frac{6 + \frac{1}{x}}{5 - \frac{1}{x}} = \frac{(6 + \frac{1}{x}) \cdot x}{(5 - \frac{1}{x}) \cdot x}$$
3. **Multiply out:**
$$= \frac{6x + 1}{5x - 1}$$
4. **Simplify:** The expression is now $$\frac{6x + 1}{5x - 1}$$ which cannot be simplified further.
5. **Find values where expression is undefined:** The denominator cannot be zero, so solve:
$$5x - 1 = 0 \implies x = \frac{1}{5}$$
6. **Also consider original restrictions:** Since the original expression has $\frac{1}{x}$, $x \neq 0$.
7. **Final answer:**
$$\frac{6 + \frac{1}{x}}{5 - \frac{1}{x}} = \frac{6x + 1}{5x - 1}$$
with restrictions $$x \neq 0, x \neq \frac{1}{5}$$
