u can consider the -4q as two -2q's hence there will be two separate dipoles which have equal and opposite charges
Q) Charges 2q, 2q, -4q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side length a.
Find the Dipole moment of the system.
1st tell me - where is the concept of dipoles coming?
HCV writes that charges that are equal in magnitude constitute a dipole.....but here they are not so...[2]

or u may cosnider 2 2q as a combined charge of 4q...
and then this combined 4q with -4q already present form a dipole
