To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 6 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 6 KOH + KClO_3 + 3 C_2K_2O_4 ⟶ 3 H_2O + KCl + 6 K_2CO_3
