the correct answer is

D.

2p - b = 72.08

p-b= 16.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the price for basic cable at True View Cable Company.

Let p represent the price for premium cable at True View Cable Company.

At True View Cable Company, the price of basic cable is $72.08 less than twice the price of premium cable. Twice the price of the premium cable is 2 × p = 2p.

This means that

b + 72.08 = 2p

2p - b = 72.08 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

The difference between the price of premium cable and basic cable is $16.78. This means that

p - b = 16.78- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2
