    Let the males be x.

    females are 14 less than male = x - 14

    Males = x

    Females = x - 14

    Total = 42

    x + (x - 14) = 42

    x + x - 14 = 42

    2x - 14 = 42

    2x = 42 + 14

    2x = 56

    x = 56/2

    x = 28

    Males = x = 28, Females = x - 14 = 28 - 14 = 14

    Therefore Males are 28 and Females are 14.

    Hope this solves it.
