probably the question was to write an expression for that in algebra (not in words) and to simplify that expression.
2n = the first of two consecutive even integers.
2n%2B2 = the next of the two consecutive even integers.
The sum of their squares is
%282n%29%5E2%2B%282n%2B2%29%5E2=4n%5E2%2B4n%5E2%2B8n%2B4=highlight%288n%5E2%2B8n%2B4%29
