    6CO2 + 7H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 + H2O

    Explanation:

    CO2 + H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 + H2O

    Starting carbon atoms,

    1C on reactants and 6C on products,

    therefore you should start by putting a 6 on CO2

    6CO2 + H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 + H2O

    Proceed with Hydrogen,

    Reactants → 2H

    Products → 14H

    You should multiply H2O with 7.

    6CO2 + 7H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 + H2O

    the we need to proceed for Oxygen,

    Reactants → 12 + 7 = 19O

    Products → 6 O in C6H12O6, 2O in O2 and 1O in H2O

    we need to balance the equation without disrupting the balance of other atoms, so we need to Multiply O2 with 6

    The required balanced equation is

    6CO2 + 7H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 + H2O
