"Simple Balanced Equations" Reflection

L.O: Construct a word equation and simple balanced equations

I learned how to balance equations in chemistry. It's a bit difficult at first, since I keep on getting confused what number should I put to balance the equation, because when I put  like a certain number I might get it wrong, when I see the result as not balanced.

Example:
2   AgI   +  Na2S  ----> Ag2S + 2 NaI

Ba3N2   +  6H20 -----> 3 Ba(OH)2   + 2NH3

Well, in the end I learned a trick of how to do it quick though, I learned how to balance the equation and that is by looking at the numbers that I put in each element.
