Nomenclature: URGENT HELP!!!!!!

Mystery.png

I understand the first two steps but I am absolutely confused when the last step is reached where the formula is completed by 'filling in the hydrogen atoms'. Where do these hydrogen atoms come from and how do I know how many to add????
Thank you very much!!!!
A carbon atom can make 4 bonds, if these bonds are missing when you have filled in all the other groups- then they are bound to a hydrogen atom.
