Answer 1

You should have written this code like this:-

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int a;
int b;
int answer;
cout<< "Please enter a number: ";
cin>> a;
cout<< "Please enter another number: ";
cin>> b;
answer=a*b;
cout<< "Answer is: "<<answer<<endl;
return 0;
}

Answer 2

x is not correct operator in C++. You should use * for multiplying of integers.
int answer = a*b;

Answer 3

You can't calculate answer before storing values in a and b

Answer 4
