    that's ez. Remember (A.L.C.R.E.)
    ASSET= + -
    Liability= - +
    Credit= - +
    Revenue= - +
    Expenses= + -
    What ever goes on the left side on one goes on the right side for the other.
    Example: Pam pays $300 for rent :
    $300- Credit Cash then $300 Debit Rent expense.
    if it makes it easy for you make t-accounts for everything. That way when you do the balance sheet everything balance she everything equals.
    the formula for the balnce sheet is: A= L+ C (Assests= Libility + Credit) you should have the same answer for both Ex. 15,206,100=15,205,100
