anonymous1234: simplify 4p x 6q
there is an invisible times sign between the number and the letter.
Also when you are doing it on the computer, it is best to use * for a times sign. This is so that it doesn't not get muddled with the algebaic x.
so your question is
4p * 6q
=4*p*6*q
=4*6*p*q
=24*p*q
=24pq
