$2 A l {(O H)}_{3} \to A l_{2} O_{3} + 3 H_{2} O$ $2Al(OH)_3 rarr Al_2O_3 + 3H_2O$

Explanation:

On the the left side, there are $1 A l, 3 O, and 3 H$ $1Al, 3O, and 3H$ originaly and $2 A l, 4 O, and 2 H$ $2Al, 4O, and 2H$ . Since both sides need to have the same amount of each element, both sides need to have $2 A l, 6 O, and 6 H$ $2Al, 6O, and 6H$ . This is why there are 3 water molecules, two $A l {(O H)}_{3}$ $Al(OH)_3$ molecules, and 1 molecule of $A l_{2} O_{3}$ $Al_2O_3$ to have the equation balanced.
