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?

Dispatcher receives $x
Secretary receives x - $8
x + (x - $8) = $40
Remove brackets
x + x - $8 = $40
2x = $40 + $8
2x = $48
x = $24
Hourly wage of dispatcher = $24
Hope this helps. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
