Applying the Addition Property in Account Reconciliation

Imagine you are explaining a basic accounting calculation to a new team member. Using the equation a28=37a - 28 = -37—where 'a' represents an initial account balance before a $28 withdrawal resulted in a -$37 deficit—describe the standard procedure for solving this equation using the Addition Property of Equality. In your response, clearly state which specific value must be added to both sides of the equation and explain why this action is necessary to determine the value of 'a'.
