Explanation:

T-accounts are general ledger accounts in T-form.  They are mainly used for accounts adjustments at the end of the accounting period.  The debit side is on the left hand side while the credit side is on the right hand side.  At the end of the period, the accounts are balanced by making the two sides to agree in total with the difference being called the balancing figure.
