Explanation:
Let the boys be x
Girls = x - 14 (number of females is 14 less than the number of males)
x + x - 14 = 32
2x - 14 = 32
2x = 32 + 14 (add 14 to both sides or if 14 crosses over the bracket. The sign changes to plus or positive)
2x = 46
Divide both sides by 2
x = 23
Girls = x - 14 = 23 - 14
=9
Therefore, The boys are 23, while the girls are 9
