    Hydrogen has a + 1charge and the whole thing has a + 1charge so

    (N) + 4 (H) = + 1

    and plug in H you get

    (N) + 4 (1) = 1 which means N has a charge of - 3

    If you use that set up for the rest you should be able to figure them out if there is no overall charge you just set it equal to 0
