Look on the periodic table and add everything.
2*H + 1*S + 4*O = ?

how would you do 3PO-4

Is that 3PO^-4 or 3(PO4)^3-

PO3-
4

I can't tell what you mean.
PO₃^-4 is
1*P + 3*O
A number as a subscript means you multiply what it is a subscript to by that number.
P₂ is 2*P
PO^{4 is

1P + 4*O

H3PO4 is

3*H + 1*P + 4*O

If there are parentheses, the subsceript multiplies everything in the parentheses by that number.

Ba3(PO4)2 is

3*Ba + 2*P + 8*O

A number as a coefficient multiplies the entire molecule by that number

2NaCl is 2Na + 2Cl

or

2Na2SO4 is

4*Na + 2*S + 8*O}
