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.
