You can write this out as:

x - 0.4x = 36

The number minus 40% of the number is 36.  To simplify, combine like terms:

0.6x = 36

Finally, divide each side by 0.6:

x = 60

The original number is 60.

I’m kinda stuck on here on how to do this .... how am I suppose to go down again if it’s not gonna be on the line.

To graph the new shape, you must move each vertex down 3 units. This causes Q to become (1, 0), L to become (5, -2), and Q to become (1, 0). These values can be found by simply counting down by three for each point.
