Rationalize how the addition of the silver nitrate to the Fe/SCN equilibrium system had an effect even though neither Ag nor NO3 appears in the equation shown in the text. Equation in text is FE3+ + SCN- <> [FeSCN]2+. I know that AgSCN is formed and precipitates and that equilibrium shifts to the left.

You have the answer. What else is to explain? The AgSCN ppts, the SCN concn is decreased, the reaction shifts to the left to compensate and less FeSCN^2+ complex is formed.
