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.
