Answer:

$5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The Equation (A = L + OE) is the accounting equation that guides in preparing a balance sheet. The equation in full is

Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity.

In this case

Assets = $10,000 , liabilities = $5,000, equity = ?

$10,000 = $5000 + Equity

Equity = $10,000 - $5,000

Equity = $5,000
