Actually to do it mathematically you put each one in equations of there own. For example: 
H20 -> H + O is aH20 -> bH + cO (a,b,c are the coefficients)
H: 2*a=b
O: a=c
now say a=1 so b=2 and c is 1 and it is balanced
for more examples try: 
http://www.maplesoft.com/www/cybermath/html/chemeqn.html (page telling you how Maple V to input chem eqns into the program to be solved)

there is how to do it now it is up to you to code it.
