Assets = Liabilities + Equity

I will also go over the expanded accounting equation and tell you how the word DEALER can help you remember the rules of debits and credits.

the secret is that these debits and credits work together to keep the accounting equation balanced!

I will provide examples and T accounts to help you follow along!

This is a somewhat difficult concept to understand but once you do, you are on your way to learning accounting like a pro!

many students use T accounts to visualize the concept. I used the following when I was starting:

Assets = Liabilities + owner's equity

debit | credit = debit | credit debit | credit
+ - - + - +

I still have this picture in my head, and recall it every time I need to account for something, simple or complex!
