    It looks like you have adjusting entries where you have to calculate the amount, then do an adjusting entry.

    For an example your Supplies account balance is $250 but your actual physical balance is $50 worth of supplies. You have to get your Supplies account balance to $50 because there is $50 worth of supplies onhand, not the $250 your account says there is. So you have to calculate the amount of the adjusting entry by taking $250 account balance minus the $50 actual balance equals $200 adjustment amount. This is the amount used during your accounting period. So your adjusting entry will be:
    Debit Supplies Expense for $200
    Credit Supplies for $200

    Now your Supplies account balance will be $50 which is what your actual balance is.
