For 40 points and includes brainliest during a recent season there were 18 girls on the high school softball team. there were equal numbers of freshmen, sophomores, and seniors on the team. the number of juniors was two less than the number of seniors. how many juniors were on the team? for 40 points and includes brainliest.

This one is eazy 18=3y+(y-2) so u already know 3 of them are all equal guess and check 3×5=15 5=y  18=15+3 that is true so there is your answer hope this help 3 juniors are on the team 

18 in total
equal of freshmen=x soph.=x seniors=x
So they can all stand for the same variable
j=x-2
18=3x+(j)
substitute
18=3x+x-2
Add and simplify
18=4x-2
+2 both sides
20=4x
÷4 both sides
x=5
5-2=3
3 juniors
If you want to check if this is correct add them up
5+5+3+5= 18
18=18
