I can work the formula to find the answer, but I can't seem to balance the equation first

H3A + 3NaOH ---> 3HOH + Na3A

Since there are 3H+'s in H3A, A will have a 3- charge.
HOH can also be rewritten as H2O.
Generally speaking, don't separate polyatomic ions into separate elements.
It's easier to balance if you leave water as HOH
so you can see three OH-'s on both sides.
