You look at each side to see. To be balanced there must the the same number of each kind of atom on each side. For example, I see one atom of C on each side so that's balanced.
you try
how many C on the left, how many C on the right?
How many H on the left, how many H on the right?
How many O on the left, how many O on the right?

(Only one of them is messed up)
