This question leaves my mind in a boggled state.

-- A latitude and longitude defines a point on the surface of the Earth.

-- The point " 37 North / 123 West " is located in the Pacific Ocean, about 45 miles

west of the California coast near Davenport, northwest of Santa Cruz.

-- The location of the point doesn't depend in any way whatsoever on the direction

from which you approach it, or on whether you ever go there at all.

I'm left totally mystified, wondering what in the world "traveled east" is doing in this question.

What is the latitude and longitude for 46 degree north latitude from the prime meridian if you move to 21 degree south 35 degree west 20 degree south 45 degree west and 20 degree north?

The latitude and longitude for 46 degrees North latitude from the Prime Meridian are approximately 46 degrees North latitude, 0 degrees longitude. Moving to 21 degrees South, 35 degrees West would take you to approximately 21 degrees South latitude, 35 degrees West longitude. Continuing to 20 degrees South, 45 degrees West would position you at approximately 20 degrees South latitude, 45 degrees West longitude. Finally, moving to 20 degrees North would bring you around 20 degrees North latitude, along the same longitude as the previous location (45 degrees West).
