The equation as stated can not be balanced because you do not have the same elements on each side. All parts of the equation need to be seen.

You are using the ammonia as a source of hydroxide. So write down
NH3 + H2O = NH4+ + OH-
Multiply it by what you need to give you the right number of hydroxides. Add that on to the equation for the reaction between Fe3+(aq) and OH-(aq) to give you your Fe(OH)3. Finally, check that all the atoms and charges balance.

ok bud thats not how you do it. You actually add water to the left side of the equation and amonia to the right side. That way you have charges on both sides and after some balancing you get the right answer.
