summation - Sum to the nth term of an arithmetic-geometric series

We have to find the sum to nth term in the following series:




122+322423+ up to nth term.



I tried using the common method of successive differences. It lead me to an answer that was:



32S=(2)n2+43+23n(2)n



Where S is the sum of the series.



I'm not sure if this is the answer. Could anyone help me out by checking this answer and recommend a better, not so sophisticated method.
