Answer:

6 games on each of the three shelves

Explanation:

The total of 22 books minus the 4 books on the top shelf leaves 18 remaining books. You take that 18 and divide by 3 since there are three more shelves. This will leave you with a total of 6 books on each of the other shelves

22 - 4 = 18

18 / 3 = 6
