### 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: Determine the value of $k$ such that $6\cos^2(k) - 6\cos(k) - 5 = 0$ for an acute angle $k$.
Answer: This equation can be solved by letting $x = \cos(k)$, and then solving the quadratic equation
\[ 6x^2 - 6x - 5 = 0 \]

Use the quadratic formula to solve for $x$:
\[ x = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{6^2 - 4(6)(-5)}}{2(6)} = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{36 + 120}}{12} = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{156}}{12} = \frac{6 \pm 2\sqrt{39}}{12} = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{39}}{6} \]

Since $\cos(k)$ must be between $-1$ and $1$, and $\frac{3 - \sqrt{39}}{6}$ is negative, we choose the positive root:
\[ \cos(k) = \frac{3 + \sqrt{39}}{6} \]

However, we are asked to find $k$, and the cosine of $k$ is $\frac{3 + \sqrt{39}}{6}$. To find $k$, we can use the inverse cosine function:
\[ k = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{39}}{6}\right) \]

However, we are asked to find $k$ in a simple numerical form. In this case, we can use the fact that the angle is acute to make an approximation or use known values to simplify. However, given the complexity of the expression, a precise numerical value isn't straightforward without a specific angle that matches known cosine values. The correct approach involves recognizing the quadratic formula's solution and understanding that without a specific known angle, the expression as derived is the solution for $\cos(k)$. The question seems to imply a simplification or a specific known angle that matches the cosine value derived, but without further context or simplification, we acknowledge the process leads to an expression for $\cos(k)$ rather than a simplified numerical value for $k$ itself.

Given the format and the nature of the question, it seems we are led to understand $k$ through its cosine value, yet the specific request for $k$ in a numerical form suggests an oversimplification or a misunderstanding in the question's resolution process as presented.

Given the solution steps, the accurate reflection of the process does not align with providing a simple numerical value as the question's format implies. Instead, it reflects the derivation of $\cos(k)$'s value, indicating a potential discrepancy in the question's expectation and the solution's presentation.

Thus, following the solution process, we identify the cosine of $k$ but acknowledge the challenge in providing $k$ as a simple numerical value without further context or simplification that aligns with known angles and their cosine values.

However, adhering strictly to the requested format for the answer and recognizing the limitations in the solution process as described, the answer cannot be accurately represented in the requested format without potentially misrepresenting the solution derived.

The final answer is: $\boxed{\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{3 + \sqrt{39}}{6}\right)}$
