Can someone please help me balance this equation?
It is decomposition chemical reaction.

Beryllium hydroxide ->(yields) Beryllium oxide + hydrogen
BeOH2 ->(yields) BeO + H2O

How would I balance out this equation?

Make one small change in your equation: it's not BeOH2, it is Be(OH)2. I think you will see the answer now.
