At first, I was completely lost with this question. I guess I don't really think of this equation in those terms.
The equation is: Assets = Liability + Equity. That is, if there is a change in total assets, there must be an equal change in Liability and/or Equity. There can be incremental changes in Assets that don't change total assets (such as receiving cash in payment for accounts receivable from a customer) that don't affect liabilities or equity. The same can be said for the right side of the equation.
