Answer:

Option C is correct


x+y = 425


y = 2x-70

Explanation:

Here, x represents Kathryn's score and y represents Michael's score.

As per the statement:

Michael and Kathryn bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 425 points.


x+y = 425

It is also given that Michael's score was 70 less than twice Kathryn's.


y = 2x-70

Therefore, the system of equations models the problem is:


x+y = 425


y = 2x-70
