Equal movies on the bottom 3 shelves: 3x

10 movies on each of the top 2 shelves = 2*10 = 20

Equation:

3x + 20

Question:

Number of movies on the shelving unit if 11 movies are on each bottom 3 shelves: x = 11

Solution:

3x + 20

3(11) + 20 = 33 + 20 = 53

Therefore, there are total 53 movies on the shelving unit; 20 on the top 2 shelves and 33 on the bottom 3 shelves altogether.
