There are two equations, the first to describe how the carbon reacts with the oxygen in the air,
Carbon + Oxygen ---- Carbon Monoxide
or
2C + 02 ---- 2CO
The second describes how the carbon monoxide reacts with the iron oxide forming carbon dioxide and pure iron,
Carbon Monoxide + Iron Oxide ---- Iron + Carbon Dioxide
or
3 CO + Fe2O3 ---- 2 Fe + 3 CO2
Another might be
iron oxide + carbon --> carbon dioxide + iron
