Kallie Key · Answer 1

6 is the correct answer

Howard · Answer 2

The balanced reaction is as below

3A₂B + 2DC₃→ 6 AC + D₂B₃

The number that must be to the left of AC is 6

Explanation

According to the law of mass conservation, the number of atoms in reactant side must be equal to number to the number of atoms in product side. Therefore the equation above is balance since it obey the law of mass conservation. For example there is 6 atoms of A in reactant side and 6 in product side.
