You've posted this as an answer to someone else's question. Not only is it confusing to find a completely unrelated question in someone else's thread, but I thought you were trying to answer the original question, making it even more confusing.
Could you please start your own thread with your question, and post each question separately. And then read the red announcement at the top of the page about posting homework questions.

Hi. You've made a common error when doing unearned accounts.
You may first want to read some of the explanation of what an unearned revenue account is, and what the purpose of adjusting it is, in my answer to this post:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/accounting-adj-trial-balance-190197.html
When they're giving you the balance in the unearned account, they are not trying to give you an amount to be added to that account. There's the common error: students try to add that amount to the account.
They are actually trying to tell you that there is $2000 that is STILL unearned. I like to stress the "still." $5700 was originally what was unearned and put into the unearned account. That's the balance showing in there now. Out of the $5700, $2000 is still unearned. So what happened to the other $3700?
See if you can take my explanation from the other thread, together with this, and take another crack at this. Just as a note, the balance in the revenue is completely irrelevant.
