Step-by-step explanation:

If the concentration of a substance is changed, the equilibrium will shift to minimise the effect of that change. If the concentration of a reactant is increased the equilibrium will shift in the direction of the reaction that uses the reactants, so that the reactant concentration decreases. For example, decreased volume and therefore increased concentration of both reactants and products for the following reaction at equilibrium will shift the system toward more products.
