Explanation:

On the left hand side, we have three nitrogen atoms within the polyatomic ion. You then multiply that by the stoichiometric coefficient (the numbers to the left of a a formula that are used to balance the equation). So it is 2*3=6.

On the right, there are two nitrogen atoms within the formula then multiplied by the stoichiometric coefficient again. 2*3=6
