You forgot to put the "gas" symbol after the formula for carbon monoxide and to include the type of reaction.

Explanation:

The complete equation is

"Bi"_2"O"_3"(s)" + "3C(s)" → "2Bi(s)" + "3CO"color(red)("(g)")Bi2O3(s)+3C(s)2Bi(s)+3CO(g)

That satisfies two of the requirements.

This is a single replacement reaction, because "C"C is replacing the "Bi"Bi in "Bi"_2"O"_3Bi2O3.

And that satisfies the third requirement.
