Respuesta :
You didn't put a + charge on one of the Ag. It has to be on the left side
2H2O + MnO2 ==> MnO4^- + 3e + 4H^+
Ag^+ + e ==> Ag^+
Those are the two BALANCED half reactions. Multiply equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 3 and add them.

Answer:
2H2O + MnO2 + 3Ag^+-------------> MnO4^- + 4H^+ + 3Ag
Explanation:
Oxidation half equation:
2H2O + MnO2 -------------> MnO4^- + 3e + 4H^+
Reduction half equation:
3Ag^+ + 3e -------------> 3Ag
Overall redox reaction equation:
2H2O + MnO2 + 3Ag^+-------------> MnO4^- + 4H^+ + 3Ag
The hydrogen ions comes from water.
