1. The problem is to simplify the expression $x2*4p$. 2. First, recognize that $x2$ means $x \times 2$ and $4p$ means $4 \times p$. 3. The expression can be rewritten as $2x \times 4p$. 4. Multiply the constants: $2 \times 4 = 8$. 5. Combine the variables: $x \times p = xp$. 6. Therefore, the simplified expression is $8xp$.
