Answer:

66.1° and 23.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are angles that sum up to 90°

So equation : x + x - 42.2 = 90

2x - 42.2 = 90

2x = 132.2

x = 66.1

66.1° is the "other complementary angle"

This angle is 66.1 - 42.2 = 23.9°

Answer:

x + (x-42.2) = 90

2x - 42.2 = 90

add 42.2 to both sides

2x = 132.2

divide each side by 2

x = 66.1

find the measure of the other angle

66.1 - 42.2 = 23.9

From system of equations:
$\left \{ {{0,2x+0,34y=19,90} \atop {x+y=75}} \right.\\x=75-y\\0,2(75-y)+0,34y=19,90\\ 15-0,2y+0
,34y=19,90\\-0,2y+0,34y=19,90-15\\0,14y=4,90/:0,14\\ y=35\\x=75-35=40$
