Question

which of the following operations could you perform on both sides of the given equation to solve it

Answer 1

To answer this question, we will solve the given equation.

First, we add 5:

$\begin{gathered} 14x-5+5=3x+6+5, \\ 14x=3x+11. \end{gathered}$

Now, we subtract 3x from the above result:

$\begin{gathered} 14x-3x=3x+11-3x, \\ 11x=11. \end{gathered}$

Finally, we divide by 11:

$\frac{11x}{11}=\frac{11}{11}=1.$

Therefore, from the given options we added 5 and subtracted 3x.

Answer: Options A and C.
