Show that $langle 2,x rangle$ is not a principal ideal in $mathbb Z [x]$

I've : $I=<p,x>$ is not a principal ideal in $Z[x]$ where p is prime.
My question : Is $I=<p,x>$ a principal ideal in $Z[x]$ where p is not a prime?
More particularly, is the ideal generated by ${4,x}$ a principal ideal in $Z[x]$ ?

If you have already that $I=(p,x)$ is not maximal, then where did you use there that $p$ is prime? Can you replace $2$ by $4$ in the standard proof?

If $langle4,xrangle$ was a principal ideal, then you would have $langle4,xrangle=langle p(x)rangle$, for some $p(x)inmathbb{Z}[x]$. Is this true? What can you tell about a polynomial $p(x)inmathbb{Z}[x]$ if you know that $p(x)mid4$ and that $p(x)mid x$?

Ok. I've got this. Thanks.
