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:


(11x)/(11)=(11)/(11)=1.

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

Answer: Options A and C.
