This is an explanation on how you know that the accounts balance. Capital + net profit - the amount the owner has paid off = less drawings. So net assets and less drawings are the two figures on the accounts that have to be the same for the account to balance. I hope that this letter has helped you figure out how the profit and loss accounts and balance sheet works.
