I will agree that by mathematical logic, Assets-(Liabilities)=Equity. ∴ Assets+(Liabilites)-(Liabilities)=Equity+Liability, or stated more simply, A=Eq+L. I have added Liability to both sides ∴ both sides remain equal.

However, although (A+L)=Eq, (A+L)≠Eq+(I+Ex). I have added a term to the right side that is most decidedly not on the left ∴ they cannot be equal.

∴ A and L must be terms that include other factors.

Not good at accounting, I will ask what those other factors are.

I want to use GnuCash but I am having trouble getting my mind to accept an equation that is not correct unless terms are redefined.

Please help me with my (obviously) incorrect understandings.

Thank you,

Neal Lewis
