$2 A l B r_{3} + 3 C l_{2} \to 2 A l C l_{3} + 3 B r_{2}$ $2AlBr_3 + 3Cl_2 -> 2AlCl_3 + 3Br_2$

Explanation:

Translate names to symbols
$A l B r_{3} + C l_{2} \to A l C l_{3} + B r_{2}$ $AlBr_3 + Cl_2 -> AlCl_3 + Br_2$
Balance Cl and Br by adding atoms
$A l B r_{3} + \frac{3}{2} C l_{2} \to A l C l_{3} + \frac{3}{2} B r_{2}$ $AlBr_3 + 3/2Cl_2 -> AlCl_3 + 3/2Br_2$
Multiply by 2 to get to the nearest whole number
$2 A l B r_{3} + 3 C l_{2} \to 2 A l C l_{3} + 3 B r_{2}$ $2AlBr_3 + 3Cl_2 -> 2AlCl_3 + 3Br_2$
