Explanation:

The accounting equation states that total assets are equal to total liabilities and stockholders' equity.  This equation gives accounting two sides to every transaction.  This is known as the double-entry system of accounting.  And the two sides are always in agreement before and after each transaction.  The equation also implies that an entity's assets are funded by the creditors and the owners (stockholders).
