Let n be the first even integer, and n+2 will be the second even integer. (Why? Think 2 and 4, 2+2=4. This is the case for every consecutive even integers).
n + 3(n+2) = 54
n + 3n + 6 = 54
4n = 48
n = 12, n+2 = 14
13,907 is going to be your answer since we do 12000 + 8000 + 1000 + 400 (1400) + 7, which gives you 13,907 for the answer.
Hope this helped!

Horizontal means X axiz. so 6 units on the x axis. The points are always placed (x,y) which is A. (1,6) and (7,6)
Proportion A
The first thing you should know in this case is what the rate of change means.
The rate of change in a linear equation is given by the slope of the line.
For a linear equation, the rate of change is constant.
So we have to:
y = 9x
The slope is:
m = 9
Proportion B
The slope of the line will be:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Substituting values:
m = (57.5-34.5) / (5-3)
m = 11.5
Answer:
The rate of change in proportion A is 2.5 less than in proportion B.
