Balancing redox reactions!

Just a simple question. When Balancing redox reactions and there are charges on both sides, do they add directly?

I have.. Mno4- + Cl- -> Mn2+ + Cl2
Balanced Mn to have 9e- when adding charges directly on both sides of the equation but I don't think that it makes sense. I have an example in my notes where two -'s on either side of an equation balances to create a 2e-.

Thank you

I figured out today what I was doing.. I was trying to make it equal zero all together and not balance each side to be the same!
