First you need to analyse the transactions to figure out what accounts are affected and whether the account is increasing or decreasing, and by how much.

Also you need to know the accounting equation, which is:

Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity.

Expanded the equation is:

Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity + Revenues - Expenses.

For example in your first transaction your accounts that are affected are Cash and the Capital account. Both accounts increase by $10,000

Assets Increase by 10,000 and the Capital Account Increase by 10,000, therefore

10,000 = 10,000

Chances are, for the "expanded" equation they mean totally expanded with every account listed:
Cash + A/R + Supplies, etc.
(Although it should show that in the problem itself. If nothing else, plenty of examples of such.)
