See Below.

It's Actually easy.

First Let's Check The Equation.

#CaCl_2 + NaOH -> Ca(OH)_2 + NaCl#

In L.H.S, We can see two chlorine atoms, but in R.H.S, we can see only one.

The same thing applies for the #OH# as well.

So, To balance, We will assign #2# as coefficient to #NaCl#, and #2# as coefficient to #NaOH#.

Let's see the finalised equation.

#CaCl_2 + 2NaOH = Ca(OH)_2 + 2NaCl#.

Well, It's Balanced now!

Hope this helps.
