For each of the following questions, choose the correct answer.

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.
(Points : 1)
x + y = 425
y = 2x – 40

x + y = 425
y = 2x + 40

x – y = 425
y = 2x – 40

x + y = 40
y = 2x – 425
