Joey worked 14 more hours than Chandler last week. Together, they worked a total of 64 hours. Which system of equations can be used to determine the number of hours Joey worked, x, and the number of hours Chandler worked, y?

A. x + y = 50
y = x - 14

B. x + y = 64
y = -x + 50

C. x = y + 14
x + y = 64

D. x = y + 14
x + y = 50
