### Example Problem:
*Problem*: Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 2x + 3 = 11 \).

### Expected Format:
*Step 1*: Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.  
<thinking>Subtracting 3 from both sides should isolate the term with \( x \). Am I confident this is the correct first step? Yes, because it simplifies the equation to \( 2x = 8 \).</thinking>  
*Step 1 Confidence Score*: 0.85

*Step 2*: Divide both sides by 2.  
<thinking>Dividing by 2 will solve for \( x \). This is a straightforward division. Is there any reason to doubt this step? No, it should give \( x = 4 \).</thinking>  
*Step 2 Confidence Score*: 0.90

*Step 3*: Verify the solution by substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the original equation.  
<thinking>Substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the equation should confirm the solution. Does \( 2(4) + 3 = 11 \)? Yes, it does, so the solution is verified.</thinking>  
*Step 3 Confidence Score*: 1.00

Question: Problem:
Find the value of the expression $(1+i)^6 + (1-i)^6$.

This problem requires a different approach than the original one, as it involves raising complex numbers to powers and then adding them together. The original problem involved raising a single complex number (i) to different powers and adding the results. In this new problem, the expression $(1+i)^6$ and $(1-i)^6$ need to be evaluated separately and then added together, which requires a different approach to solve.
Answer: To evaluate $(1+i)^6$ and $(1-i)^6$, we can use the binomial theorem.

We have:
\[ (1+i)^6 = \sum_{k=0}^{6} \binom{6}{k} 1^{6-k} i^k \]

and
\[ (1-i)^6 = \sum_{k=0}^{6} \binom{6}{k} 1^{6-k} (-i)^k \]

Expanding these expressions, we get:

\[ (1+i)^6 = 1 + 6i - 15 - 20i + 15 + 6i - 1 = -8i \]

and
\[ (1-i)^6 = 1 - 6i - 15 + 20i + 15 - 6i - 1 = 8i \]

Now, adding these two results together, we get:
\[ (1+i)^6 + (1-i)^6 = -8i + 8i = 0 \]

Therefore, the value of the expression $(1+i)^6 + (1-i)^6$ is $\boxed{0}$.
