Summing moments about a point (statics)

[Mddrill]

Homework Statement

Hi, I don't have a specific problem, I just need to know what to do when summing the moments about a point if there is a moment given at a different point. Do I just add it into the equilibrium equation as if it was about the point I am summing the moments about?

Homework Equations

I don't have any relevant equations

The Attempt at a Solution

So far I have been adding the moment into the equation as if it where about the point I was summing the moments about.

Thank You for your answers, I've been unsure about this for months and I may have lost points on the last test because of this.

Yes the moment of a couple about any point is the couple itself. So whatever point you choose , just add ( or subtract) that moment in your moment equilibrium equation.
