    Given that Joseph has 24 cousins, and he has 6 more females than males, the number of females will be obtained as follows;

    suppose he had x males, number of females will be x+6.

    The total will be:

    x + (x+6) = 24

    x+x+6=24

    2x+6=24

    2x=24-6

    2x=18

    x=18/2

    x=9

    thus the number of male cousins is 9, the number of female cousins will be 9+6=15

    We therefore conclude that he has 9 male cousins and 15 female cousins
