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.
