so what you do is you write out each element separately and how many of that element on either side of the arrow S-8|S-1
O-2|O-2
on one side theres 8 (S) and 2 (O) and 1(S) and 2(O) if you put a number in front to balance it you are multiplying it the elements number like
SO2 if I put a 2 in front now I will have 2(S) and 4(O)


Answer is 1,8,8
