The original equation is Na + Cl = NaCl. The thing is, chlorine is one of 7 elements that doesn't like to be alone, so it's always 'Cl2', making the equation Na + Cl2 = NaCl. However, this is no longer balanced. So what you do is add a '2' onto NaCl, making it Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl. Now the chlorine is balanced, but the sodium isn't. After that, to balance the sodium, you add a '2' in front of 'Na' making the equation 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl.
