Your notation is still somewhat confusing to me but here is what you do for one of the reactions. The others are done the same way.
For the copper, Ag^+ reaction:
Cu ==> Cu^+2 + 2e
Ag^+ + e ==> Ag
====================
The electrons must be kept equal; therefore, multiply the first equation by 1 and the second equation by 2, then add them.
Cu + 2Ag^+ ==> Cu^+2 + 2Ag.
The others are done the same way.
