Balancing a chemical equation and the charges? Thanks!

Hey guys!
I need to balance a chemical equation properly for tomo chem class. it is really urgent I appreciate all your help
The chemical reaction involves a silver ammonia complex that reacts with nitric acid and carbonic acid to form carbon dioxide, water, ammonium and silver nitrate.
Ag(NH3)2 + HNO3 +CO3 ^2- -> CO2 + H2O + AgNO3 + NH4+
For some reason I cant seem to to balance this equation. Can anyone help me out please? Also, can someone also balances the charges correctly=
Thank you so much in advance!!!!
Edit:
Its a lab project and my teacher wants one whole reaction. It involves a silver ammonia complex (Ag(NH3)2) from a previous reaction (Ag2CO3 + 4NH3 -> A(Ag(NH3)2)+ + CO3 ^2-) to which HNO3 is added, and which is supposed to form AgNO3. My teacher wants me to write CO2 in the main equation and this throws me off.
So far I have written my work as: CO3- + 2HNO3 -> CO2 + H2O and (Ag(NH3)2) + 2HNO3 -> AgNO3 + 2NH4
So how can i combine both of these and form one balanced equation? I am so confused with this assignment so any help is appreciated.
