Due to its design. It was intended as check that your records were correct - think of it as a barometer of sorts. If you look at your general ledger or trial balance and the assets don't equal the liabilities plus equity (the debits don't equal the credits), then you know you have a problem that must be resolved prior to having numbers that should be relied upon for any purpose whatsoever. Don't forget... a seemingly innocuous .01¢ descrepancy between the balances can be a bunch of huge mistakes offsetting each other....
Then the transactions recorded are wrong. The equation must always be balanced.
If your goal is to balance the equation, then yes, you have to chose the coefficients.
No because you always keep an equation in balance when solving it

how do you write the balance equation of sucrose?
if it is a redox reaction sometimes you can add water to help balance the equation
The relationship between the accounting equation and the balance sheet is the NET PROFIT. ( I THINK :/ )
Balance sheet
The accounting equation never changesassets = liabilities + owners equityAt the end of the year, accounts are closed out, such as expense accounts and revenue and are begun with a "0" balance for the new accounting cycle (fiscal or calendar year).
trial balance
The Balance Sheet shows that Assets = Liabilities + Equity
true
One way to describe the balance sheet is a more detailed version of the accounting equation. A= L+E.
to prove the accounting equation, i.e Assets= Liabilities + owners equity
Assets - Liabilities = Capital Also expressible as Assets = Capital + Liabilities. The accounting equation can be extended to include the Income and Expense accounts: Assets + Expenses = Capital + Liabilities + Income. With the accounting equation specified in the second and extended versions above, those on the left of the equals [normally] have left hand side of a T-account balance, ie a Debit balance; and those on the right [normally] have a right hand side of a T-account balance, ie a Credit balance. eg office furniture is an asset and has a debit balance; a bank loan is a liability and has a credit balance.
The Accounting Equation is Assets=Liabilities + Owner's Equity?
This can mean that either you got the maths wrong, or that the business has not accounted for one or more transactions. Ex: Company purchased $2,000 in equipment in cash. You Debit the equipment, but forget to Credit the cash balance. That incorrect transaction would cause the accounting equation to be incorrect. The accounting equation is... Assets = Liability + Owner Equity
Assets and equity go up.
