These are easy to do when you understand that the corresponding numbers form an equation.  

So, for the first one, we have 214 Po 84 -> 4 He 2 + ?

Well, ? is going to have to have a value for the top number such that 214 = 4 + top number.

? is going to have a value for the bottom number such that 84 = 2 + bottom number

And the element itself you will find by taking the bottom number (which is the number of protons, or the atomic number) and looking on your periodic table for the element with that number of protons.
