1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{6x + 1 - x}{6x} + \frac{3}{x} = 1 + \frac{11}{3}$$ for $x$.
2. **Simplify the numerator in the first fraction:**
$$6x + 1 - x = 5x + 1$$
So the equation becomes:
$$\frac{5x + 1}{6x} + \frac{3}{x} = 1 + \frac{11}{3}$$
3. **Find a common denominator for the left side fractions:**
The denominators are $6x$ and $x$. The least common denominator (LCD) is $6x$.
Rewrite $\frac{3}{x}$ as $\frac{3 \times 6}{x \times 6} = \frac{18}{6x}$.
4. **Combine the fractions on the left side:**
$$\frac{5x + 1}{6x} + \frac{18}{6x} = \frac{5x + 1 + 18}{6x} = \frac{5x + 19}{6x}$$
5. **Simplify the right side:**
$$1 + \frac{11}{3} = \frac{3}{3} + \frac{11}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$$
6. **Rewrite the equation:**
$$\frac{5x + 19}{6x} = \frac{14}{3}$$
7. **Cross multiply to solve for $x$:**
$$3(5x + 19) = 14(6x)$$
8. **Expand both sides:**
$$15x + 57 = 84x$$
9. **Bring all terms involving $x$ to one side:**
$$15x + 57 = 84x \implies 57 = 84x - 15x = 69x$$
10. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \frac{57}{69}$$
11. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$x = \frac{\cancel{57}^{3 \times 19}}{\cancel{69}^{3 \times 23}} = \frac{19}{23}$$
**Final answer:**
$$x = \frac{19}{23}$$
