If there is a change in a system in which there is a dynamic equilibrium then the equilibrium's position moves to oppose the change.
For example, in terms of changing concentration, if you have a reaction A + B <--> C + D (a reversible reaction) and you increase [A] then the equilibrium's position moves to the right as to oppose the change [1] .https://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/equilibria/lechatelier.html
