  1. your product is usually carbon monoxide, not CO2

    CH4  -->  CO & 6 electrons  (an oxidation)

    CuO & 2 electrons --> Cu   (areduction)

    to balance the electrons taken & lost:

    CH4  -->  CO & 6 electrons  

    3CuO & 6 electrons --> 3Cu  

    your answer is:

    CH4 + 3CuO --> CO + 2H2O + 3Cu
