Aldo Palindromic numbers of the form n(n+3).
Main source see Palindromes of the form n(n+3)

The following substitution shows why the sequence equals x * (x + 3)

The sequence can be rewritten as 2 * (2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + ...)
The second term is 'the sum of the natural numbers' minus the starting number 1.
Replace it with the general formula we get 2 * [ (n^2 + n)/2 – 1 ] or [ n^2 + n – 2 ]
Substitute n with (x + 1) we get [ (x + 1)^2 + (x + 1) – 2 ] and work it out.
The sequence evolves from [ x^2 + 2x + 1 + x + 1 – 2 ] to [ x^2 + 3x ]
which finally yields to x * (x + 3) QED
