I would like to have 4 output fields for something like the following:

Manipulate[
n*x
n/x
n + x
n - x,
{n, 1, 10}, {x, 1, 10}, ControlType -> InputField]

but this just outputs all 4 calculations combined.

    $\begingroup$ Try something like this: Manipulate[ Row[{n*x, "," , n/x, ",", n + x ",", n - x}], {n, 1, 10}, {x, 1, 10}, ControlType -> InputField] $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @m_goldberg but then the title should be improved. Perhaps: "manipulate with multiple outputs"? Of course the main problem here is not Manipulate, but CompoundExpression (and the fact that it is not needed in top level notebook cells) $\endgroup$

As mentioned in the comment by Artes, you can use Row, although you don't need to put in the "," individually. Row takes a spacing element as its second argument.

Manipulate[Row[{n*x, n/x, n + x, n - x}, ", "],
  {n, 1, 10},
  {x, 1, 10},
  ControlType -> InputField]

You can get much fancier, of course. For example:

Manipulate[Column[{
   Row[{"n*x = ", n*x}],
   Row[{"n/x = ", n/x,}],
   Row[{"n + x = ", n + x}],
   Row[{"n - x = ", n - x}]}],
 {n, 1, 10},
 {x, 1, 10}, ControlType -> InputField]

For the ultimate in layout control, take a look at Grid.
