Anita and Joelle bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 425 points. Anita’s score was 40 less than twice Joelle’s. What were their scores? Write a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Joelle’s score, and y represents Anita’s score.
A.) x + y = 425
y = 2x – 40
B.) x + y = 425
y = 2x + 40
C.) x – y = 425
y = 2x – 40
D.) x + y = 40
y = 2x – 425
