Balance the redox reaction H+ (aq) + Cr (s) --> H2 (g) + Cr2+ ?
I do not know why they multiplied the reaction by two at the very end.
I keep getting 2H+ + Cr ---> H2 + Cr2+ (Might be wrong)
Thank you.

Well, you have it. Use the method of half-equations....
Explanation:
Hydrogen ion is REDUCED to dihydrogen gas..
And so we add TWO of the former to one of the latter:
We do the multiplication to eliminate the electrons, which are particles of CONVENIENCE...
It would be hard to find an acid that would perform the oxidation selectively.... Chromous acetate is obtained by reduction of
Claro?
