Step-by-step explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed; thus, the number of atoms of a particular element must remain the same on the reactant side and the product side of an equation.

In this equation, 6A₂B + 5AD₂, there are 12 atoms of A on the reactant side. Therefore, there must also be 12 atoms of A on the product side
