How does the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 differ from the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋? the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted right 3 units. the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted up 3 units. the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted down 3 units. the graph of g(x)=⌊x⌋−3 is the graph of f(x)=⌊x⌋ shifted left 3 units.

If m∠abc = 70°, what is m∠abd? justify your reasoning.  using the addition property of equality, 40 + 70 = 110, so m∠abd = 110°.  using the subtraction property of equality, 70 − 30 = 40, so m∠abd = 30°.  using the angle addition postulate, 40 + m∠abd = 70. so, m∠abd = 30° using the subtraction property of equality.  using the angle addition postulate, 40 + 70 = m∠abd. so, m∠abd = 110° using the addition property of equality.
