Time independent Schrödinger equation

The Attempt at a Solution

I interpretted the Schrödinger equation as kinetic energy plus potential energy equals total energy, but i am not sure this makes much sense

yes, that's right. And since you know the Schrödinger equation, what is the operator for kinetic energy ? (this is the important bit, you don't need the rest of the Schrödinger equation in this part of the question).
