n=an even integer.
the next even number is: (n+2)
the next even number to (n+2) is: (n+2)+2=n+4
the next even number to (n+4) is : (n+4)+2=n+6

Therefore, the sumf of thant number and the next even numbers afeter it will be:
n + (n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)
if we simplifi this expression fully, we have:
n + (n+2)+(n+4)+(n+6)=4n+12

Answer: Let "n" an even integer, the expression for the sum of tahta number and the next three even numbers after it , will be:

4n+12

Answer:

The required expression is 4n+12.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We need to write an expression for the sum of that number and the next three even numbers after it.

Let n represent an even integer.

The next three even numbers after it is:

First even number: n

The second even number: n+2

Third even number: n+4

Fourth even number: n+6

The sum of all even number is:

n+n+2+n+4+n+6

Add the like terms:

4n+6+6

4n+12

Hence, the required expression is 4n+12.
