    2HBr + Pb (NO₃) ₂ → PbBr₂ + 2HNO₃

    Explanation:

    Hydrobromic acid (HBr), reacts with lead (II) nitrate (Pb (NO₃) ₂) producing Lead (II) bromide (PbBr₂) and nitric acid (HNO₃). The reaction is:

    HBr + Pb (NO₃) ₂ → PbBr₂ + HNO₃

    This reaction is unbalanced. You can see in products 2 Bromides but in reactants just 1. And in reactants 2 NO₃ but as product just 1. Thus, you can balance the equation, thus:

    2HBr + Pb (NO₃) ₂ → PbBr₂ + 2HNO₃

    And this equation is the answer of your question!
