It's been 30 years since I've done one of these:
C5H8 + 14O2 = 5CO2 + 4H2O
The 5 and 4 on the right are to balance out the C's and H's on the left.
The 14 on the left balances out the sum of O's on the right.

How about:

C5H8 + 702 = 5CO2 + 4H20

Yep, C5H8 + 7O2 = 5CO2 + 4H2O is the winner. Don't forget about that 2
next to the Oxygen in the reactants stanmartin. Those diatomic gases
can be a real pain: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2.
