Answer:

M = 26 degrees, N = 64 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

When 2 angles are <em>complementary</em>, it means they add up to 90 degrees. We can set up a system of equations to represent the situation.

M is measure of angle M

N is measure of angle N

M + N = 90 degrees

M = N - 38 (measure of angle M is 38 degrees less than measure of angle N)

We can then use the second equation to substitute in M in the first equation with N - 38

N - 38 + N = 90

2N - 38 = 90

2N = 128

N = 64 degrees

We plug this value back into the first equation to find M

M + 64 = 90

M = 26 degrees
