That was awesome! Really enjoyed it, thank you a lot expert.

Thanks, I got it!
I balanced the two reactions and the sum of them balanced the first equation. 4 1 2 1 7
Another question came to my mind; How can I find out the way to divide the equation?
Should I know the reactions or is there another way to do it?

I have learned to balance equations that have 2 or 3 changes in oxidation states, like: Zn + HNO3 = Zn(NO3)2 + NH4NO3 However I can't do this with equations like the one below that have more than 3 changes: CH4 + O2 = C2H2 + CO + H2 I know it can be balanced easily with other methods...
