2 Ca₂(PO₄)2 + 6 Si O₂ + 10 C → 6 Ca Si O₃ + P₄  + 10 CO

To balance this equation you need to take into account the redox reactions:

P+5 + 5e- → P(0) C(0) → C+2 + 2e- in order to balance the electrons you have to multiply by 2 the first semi-equation and by 5 the second semi-equation:

2 P+5 + 10e- → 2 P(0) 5 C(0) → 5C+2 + 10e-

Adjusting the equation you will obtain:

Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3 SiO₂ + 5 C → 3 CaSiO₃ + 1/2 P₄ + 5 CO

What is redox reaction and its types?

Redox reactions are matched sets: if one species is oxidized in a reaction, another must be reduced. Keep this in mind as we look at the five main types of redox reactions: combination, decomposition, displacement, combustion, and disproportion.

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.
