Answer:

34

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90o

Smaller Angle: x

Larger Angle = 2x - 12

Total: 90o

x + 2x - 12 = 90                Add 12 to both sides. Combine like terms on the left.

3x -12+12 = 90+12           Combine

3x = 102                           Divide by 3

3x/3x = 102/3

x = 34

Small angle = 34

Large angle = 2*34 - 12 = 56

Total 34 + 56 = 90
