Answer:
females 5
males 19
Step-by-step explanation:
let the no. of females be 'x' and males be 'y'
total no. of students x+y= 24 (eq. 1)
also, no. of females = no.of males - 14
= x=y-14
substituting this value in eq. 1
x+y =24
= y -14 +y =24
= 2y-14 = 24
=2y=24+14
=y= 38/2
y= 19.
therefore. x= 24 -19
= 5
therefore no.of females are 5 and males are 19.
