This almost looks like a trick question as it is written. Are you sure that the last compound is H2O and not H2O2???
The only way I can work with the equation to get CaCl and H2O is if there is excess Oxygen produced, which would have to be in the form of O2.
4HCl + 4Ca(OH)2 -----> 4 CaCl + 6H2O + O2
4H + 4Cl + 4Ca + 8O + 8H -----> 4Ca + 4Cl + 12H + 6O + 2O
12H + 4Cl + 4Ca + 8O -----> 4Ca + 4Cl + 12H + 8O

HCl+Ca(OH)2 --------> CaCl+H2O
This equation won't balance.
Cl and Ca are in equal amounts in first and second, so those can't be adjusted. The only thing that can be adjusted is the H2O.

its easy just get the H's to balance out and go from there but don't have people do it for you because once you get it you can do alot of them trust me !!
