Answer:
Divide by 4, because 4 is a factor of 88.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is incorrect reasoning because what the constant is on the right side of the equation has nothing to do with the number you are dividing by. In other words, you are dividing by 4 because that isolates the x-variable, and if it was 5x you would divide by 5. The number that you are dividing by only is determined by what number isolates x.

Answer: The answer should be -40.
Step-by-step explanation: A product is the result of multiplication and in cases like this, "less than" points to the mathematical operation of subtraction.
So when you see product, you automatically know the problem deals with <em>multiplication</em>. When you see less than, you automatically know the problem deals with <em>subtraction</em>.
The translation of this problem is 8 · -4 = x, then x - 8 = a (aka the answer).
First step is to find x, then to find a.
Note that a positive times a negative will give you negative. 8 times 4 is 32, but since 4 is a negative number here, the answer would be -32.
From this we can conclude that x is -32.
8 · -4 = -32, then -32 - 8 = a
Final step is to find a, which would be the result of -32 - 8.
-32 - 8 is -40 (Note: a negative minus a positive is basically addition in negatives. For instance, if we did -2 - 2, it'll give us -4.).
a = -40
Your answer is -40.
