    No wonder I didn't recognize it. Those aren't entries. Meaning you need to backtrack and learn how to do entries to begin with, otherwise you cannot do adjusting entries.

    At a minimum, all entries consist of two accounts, whether each account is a debit or a credit, and what currency value goes into the account. That's actually six total items to check. Like:

    (Dr) Cash 100
    (Cr) Receivables 100

    So I have an account, Cash, that has a debit, at an amount of 100. And I have another account, Receivables, that has a credit, at an amount of 100. That's six things that must be correct. (Minimum, not counting compound entries.)

    ALL entries have both debit and credit, so "debit" or "credit" by itself means nothing, since all entries must have at least one of each. Debit simply means the left side and credits means the right side. So you have listed a side, that is all. And both sides are always used. You haven't said any account names, etc. So those aren't entries.

    Meaning you are missing some basics about what an entry even is that came before this, that you absolutely need to go back and review.
