I'm assuming you know how to make the equilibrium arrow, because I can't type it. It's like two arrows on top of each other, facing opposite directions. It goes where I put the equals signs.
CH3NH3+(aq) + H2O(l) = CH3NH2(aq) + H3O+(aq)
The acidity constant for CH3NH3+ is Kw/Kb, or with the concentrations [CH3NH2][H3O+] / [CH3NH3+]
HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) = CO2(g) + OH-(aq) + H2O(l)
The acidity constant for HCO3-, because it's a base, is Kw/Ka, or [CO2][OH-] / [HCO3-]
CH3NH3+(aq) + H2O(l) = CH3NH2(aq) + H3O+(aq)
The acidity constant for CH3NH3+ is Kw/Kb, or with the concentrations [CH3NH2][H3O+] / [CH3NH3+]
HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) = CO2(g) + OH-(aq) + H2O(l)
The acidity constant for HCO3-, because it's a base, is Kw/Ka, or [CO2][OH-] / [HCO3-]

CH3NH3+ + H2O ------> CH3NH2 + H3O+
Ka = [CH3NH2][H3O+] / [CH3NH3+]
CH3NH3+ + HCO3- ------> CH3NH2 + H2CO3
Ka = [CH3NH2][H2CO3] / [CH3NH3+][HCO3-]
Ka = [CH3NH2][H3O+] / [CH3NH3+]
CH3NH3+ + HCO3- ------> CH3NH2 + H2CO3
Ka = [CH3NH2][H2CO3] / [CH3NH3+][HCO3-]
