Seniors = x
Juniors = ((x - 7) - 10) + 20
Sophomores = (x - 7) - 10
Freshmen = x - 7

(x) + (((x - 7) - 10) + 20) + ((x - 7) - 10) + (x - 7) = 363

(x) + (x + 3) + (x - 17) + (x - 7) = 363

4x - 21 = 363

4x = 384

x = 96

Seniors = x = 96

Double-check:

Seniors = x = 96
Juniors = ((x - 7) - 10) + 20 = 99
Sophomores = (x - 7) - 10 = 79
Freshmen = x - 7 = 89

"There are 363 students at meadowbrook high school":
96 + 99 + 79 + 89 = 363

"There are 10 more freshmen than sophomores":
89 freshmen - 79 sophomores = 10 more freshmen

"20 more juniors than sophomores":
99 juniors - 79 sophomores = 20 more juniors

"Seven (7) more seniors than freshman":
96 seniors - 89 freshmen = 7 more seniors
