    2, 3, 1, 6.

    Explanation:

    2H3PO4 + 3Mg (OH) 2 - -> Mg3 (PO4) 2 + 6H2O

    This is a neutralisation reaction because it is the reaction between acid and base to give a salt and water.

    The RHS is the first to be balanced, Mg atom is first balanced, followed by the P atom.

    This is because the excess O and H atoms can be balanced on the LHS.
