"Cu(s)" + "2AgNO"_3("aq")"rarr"2Ag(s)" + "Cu(NO"_3")"_2"(aq")

Explanation:

The following single replacement reaction is also a redox reaction.

"Cu(s)" + "2AgNO"_3("aq")"rarr"2Ag(s)" + "Cu(NO"_3")"_2"(aq")

The copper is oxidized so that its oxidation state increases from 0 to +2, and the oxidation state of silver is reduced from +1 to 0.
