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

Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 18y = 18. Let us take x = 0
6(0) + 18y = 18
0 + 18y = 18
18y = 18
y = 18/18
y = 1
(0, 1) [x = 0, y = 1]
6x + 18y = 18. Let us take y = 0
6x + 18(0) = 18
6x + 0 = 18
6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3
(3, 0) [x = 3, y =0]
Infinite solutions can be found for x and y

Answer:
$191.70
Step-by-step explanation:
total amount spent = cost of medicine + cost of tax + cost of shipping
cost of tax = 0.05 x $180 = $9
cost of shipping 0.015 x $180 = $2.70
total cost = $180 + $9 + 2.70 = $191.70
