CAN YOU PLEASE tell me if I did these entries correctly? And I don't know why but I am not allowed to use the supplies expense account according to my accounting homework website so some of the transaction are wrong that include the supplies expense.

Balances are given for April 30 but these transactions happened after and are for the may 30 trial balance which I need to make. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Number 4. Start with your beginning supplies account balance plus the $400 purchase minus your $470 actual balance to get the amount of the journal entry. Your debit will be to Office Expense and your credit will be to Supplies.

Number 7. Your debit should be to Accounts Payable and your credit should be to Cash.

Number 9. Your debit will be to dividends and your credit should be to Dividends Payable.

The other entries look correct.
