1. The problem asks for the value of $x$ such that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
2. In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal in length.
3. Given that side $AD = 3x + 1$ and side $CB = 6x - 4$, for ABCD to be a parallelogram, these must be equal:
$$3x + 1 = 6x - 4$$
4. Solve for $x$:
$$3x + 1 = 6x - 4$$
Subtract $3x$ from both sides:
$$\cancel{3x} + 1 = \cancel{3x} + 3x - 4 \implies 1 = 3x - 4$$
Add 4 to both sides:
$$1 + 4 = 3x - 4 + 4 \implies 5 = 3x$$
Divide both sides by 3:
$$\frac{5}{\cancel{3}} = \frac{3x}{\cancel{3}} \implies x = \frac{5}{3}$$
5. Therefore, the value of $x$ that makes ABCD a parallelogram is $\boxed{\frac{5}{3}}$.
