balancing chemistry equations?

This is the only question I can’t seem to get. I can get to down to the valencies and the whole swapping thing but its the balancing bit that gets me.

Iron(III) Oxide+ Carbon –> Iron + Carbon Dioxide (gas)

Fe2O3 + C4–> Fe3 +CO2

(of course the numbers are small)

That is as far as I can get… so if you could please explain to me how exactly I do the next step… Thankyou!

visit these links and u’ll b able to find the solution

the equation is in the blast furnace preparation of iron i think

and the equation is

2fe2o3 + 3c ——– 2fe + 3co2
