A secretary at the police department makes $8 less per hour than the dispatcher. The combined hourly wage of the secretary and the dispatcher is $40. Which equation could be used to find the hourly wage of the dispatcher?
A2x + 8 = 40
B2x − 8 = 40
C8 − 2x = 40
D(8 − 2)x = 40
A2x + 8 = 40
B2x − 8 = 40
C8 − 2x = 40
D(8 − 2)x = 40
