EtBr + MeONa → EtOMe + NaBr

when ethylbromide is treated with sodium methoxide in presence of heat  it gives us ethylmethoxide.

EtBr + NaOH → EtOH + NaBr

MeO- attacks the EtBr at the carbon atom bonded to the bromide and ‘kicks-out’ the bromide ion. This bromide ion goes on to form a salt with the sodium ion which will be floating in solution nearby.
