Answer:

∠ A = 25° , ∠ B = 65°

Explanation:

Assuming you require the measure of both angles.

complementary angles sum to 90°

sum the 2 angles and equate to 90

x - 4 + 2x + 7 = 90

3x + 3 = 90 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

3x = 87 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 29

Then

∠ A = x - 4 = 29 - 4 = 25°

∠ B = 2x + 7 = 2(29) + 7 = 58 + 7 = 65°
