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
Compatible numbers are rounded numbers. the compatible number for 777 is 800 , and the compatible number for 248 is 200 because I rounded to the nearest hundreds place

Answer:
The sum of two numbers is 240. The larger number is 6 less than twice the smaller. Find the numbers.
----------
Let the smaller be "x" ; Larger is "2x-6"
EQUATION:
x + 2x-6 = 240
3x= 246
x = 82 (smaller)
2x-6 = 158 (larger)
