Remember, when balancing equations you can only change the numbers in front of compounds! For a complete explanation, watch:
About Balancing Chemical EquationsWhen balancing chemical equations our goal is to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.Only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
 Never change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements).
