left and right hand sides are different why?
$begingroup$
Let's say I have 50 coins total.
I give 20 coins to my friend
I am left with 30
Then I give 15 again
I am left with 15
Again I give 9
I am left with 6
Again I give 6
I am left with 0
When I sum them up back what I had left each time: 0+6+15+30 = 51
But I had only 50 rupees.
And when I calculated what I gave each time it is 6+9+15+20 = 50
And they both are different. Why they are different?

Because you should
actually add what you give out, not you have left each time
which is
20+15+9+6=50
Second question:
imagine this. you have 10 dollars. you spend them one by one. by adding what you have left each time you get 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45 dollars. but you actually have 10 dollars in the beginning, not 45.
