MnO4 ^- + C2O2 ^2- = MnO2 + CO3 ^2-

how would you balance this in basic solution? I keep getting the wrong answer.

Are you sure this is the right equation? Here is the so-called C2O2^2-

8OH^- + C2O2^2- ==> 2CO3^2- + 4H2O + 6e
I think theres a mistake in the book its supposed to be C2O4^2-.
and it says it says the answer's supposed to be
2MnO4^- + 3C2O4^2- + 4OH- => 2MnO2 + 6CO3^2- + 2H2O but I didn't get that.
