(a) First of all, I believe you've got a typo in this equation. It should be

K3PO4 (aq) + Ca(NO3)2 (aq)---->Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + KNO3 (aq)

When you balance, start with the calcium,

K3PO4 (aq) + 3 Ca(NO3)2 (aq)---->Ca3(PO4)2 (s) + KNO3 (aq)

Then do the nitrates:

K3PO4 (aq) + 3 Ca(NO3)2 (aq)---->Ca3(PO4)2 (s) ...
