Double Displacement Reactions question

Here is the equation:

AgNO3 + CuSO4 = Ag3SO4 + Cu(NO3)2

I believe this is the answer, but where does the two come from in the products? How?

Please help.

Ag3SO4 doesn't make sense. Should be Ag2SO4 instead

This reaction will occur only in concentrated solution since Ag2SO4 is moderately soluble in water and will not form a precipitate from diluted solution

AgNO3 + CuSO4 = Ag2SO4 (ppt) + Cu(NO3)2
