See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

You: A company buys $5,000 of equipment on credit. How do I record it?
Kuest: Start with the accounting equation. Which asset changes here, and does it go up or down?
You: Equipment goes up by $5,000.
Kuest: Right, and an increase in an asset is a debit. They haven't paid yet, so what else changed to keep the equation balanced?
You: They owe the money, so accounts payable goes up $5,000. A liability increase is a credit.
Kuest: Exactly: debit Equipment $5,000, credit Accounts Payable $5,000. Assets and liabilities both rose by $5,000, so it still balances.

Every entry has equal debits and credits, so assets always equal liabilities plus equity.
