Video Summary

Monica needs to evenly distribute books across three shelves with a total of 39 books (17 on top, 15 in the middle, and 7 on the bottom shelf). To achieve 13 books per shelf, she should move 2 books from the middle shelf to the bottom shelf. This balances the middle shelf at 13 books and increases the bottom shelf from 7 to 9 books. Additionally, moving 4 books from the top shelf further balances all shelves at 13 each. Thus, the minimum number of books to move from the middle to the bottom shelf is 2.
