Answer:

2AgNO3 + Cu = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple substitution reaction.

For the equation to be balanced, the total number of elements on each side of the equation must be equal.

The right hand side contains 2 nitrogen and 6 oxygen, to balance this on the left add 2 to the back of silver nitrate. Thus silver on the right hand side of the equation must be 2.

Thus the equation is balanced.
