In terms of Chemistry, such equation which obeys the law of conservation of mass are balanced equations since the mass is the same on both the reactants and the product side.

In simple words the no. of atoms on both sides are the same making the sum of the atomic masses the same too. Like in the equation:

CH4 + 2O2 --------------------> CO2 + 2H2O

notice that there is only one carbon on both sides, 4 hydrogen atoms and 4 oxygen atoms on both sides. If we sum their atomic masses it will be equal to 80 on both the reactant and the product side satisfying the "Law of Conservation of Mass" which says the initial and final weight of the system remains the same.
