Equity using equity method vs consolidation equity, someone, methods, comment, different

Can someone comment on the calculation of equity under different methods. I am just so confused.

Thanks

Consolidation = Minority Interest + Acquirer's Beginning Equity

Proportionate Consolidation = Beginning Equity + % of net assets acquired.

Equity Method = Beginning Equity + Cost of investment, adjusted for net income. (Dividends are offset on the asset side through cash account).
