In this equation: FeBr2+K2CO3=Fe2(CO3)2+KBr do I simplify the 2's on iron and the CO3 on the "right side" before continuing or keep them and why?

Yes simplify. Anybody educated in chemistry can look at the equation and see that you have Fe+2 and CO3-2 combined to make FeCO3. But you don't need the 2s. Always simplify the subscripts.

By the way, the equation is not fully balanced. Check KBr.
