Let *[tex \LARGE x] represent the number of females.  Then the number of males must be *[tex \LARGE x\ -\ 6].  Since there are 30 students and we are assuming that none of them are of some unknown intermediate gender, which is to say they are all either entirely male or entirely female:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ x\ -\ 6\ =\ 30]


Solve for *[tex \LARGE x]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi}\ +\ 1\ =\ 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
