I have answered problems like this several times. There are many many different ways to balance equations and each person has a method that s/he prefers. So there is no one way of doing it. Personally, I think this is a VERY poor question but you don't need to tell your instructor that. I would start with carbon but there is no reason not to start with hydrogen. There are some good reasons not to start with oxygen.
