Usually you just precede the verb with a no.
For example:
It doesn't show. = No muestra.
"It doesn't add up" is an idiom, I believe (so there's no literal translation), but you could say:
No tiene sentido.

This is from the dictionary on this site.
His explanation does not add up -> Su explicación no tiene sentido
