Answer:
The angles are 26 and 64
Step-by-step explanation:
When two angles are complementary, what this means is that the add up to 90 degrees
Now, let’s say one of the angles is x, the other angle is 12 more than twice it; mathematically that would be 2x + 12
Since they add up to be 90, we have
x + 2x + 12 = 90
3x + 12 = 90
3x = 90-12
3x = 78
x = 78/3
x = 26
The other angle is 2x + 12 = 2(26) + 12 = 52 + 12 = 64
