Answer: The number of books on the top shelf is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A  bookcase has two shelves.

The number of books in the bottom shelf = 12

According to the question,

The number of books on the top self = [tex](\dfrac{1}{3})\times (\text{Number of books on the bottom shelf})+10[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{1}{3}\times12+10\\\\=4+10\\\\=14[/tex]

Hence, the number of books on the top shelf is 14.
