1, 3, 1, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ga - one on both sides

F - three on both sides

CN - three on both sides

K - three on both sides

But remember that CN was being multiplied by 3 on the right side already, meaning GA(CN)3 didn't mean a coefficient.

Answer:

Double re-placement

The two metals switched dance partners, that means it's a double.
