Answer: Measure of angle 1: 79 degrees

Measure of angle 2: 11 degrees

Explanation:

Since angles 1 and 2 are complementary, we know that the sum of the measure of them is 90 degrees.

From this, we now have the equation 11x-42 + x = 90 degrees.

11x - 42 + x = 90 degrees

Now, we solve the equation for x.

11x - 42 + x = 90 degrees

12x - 42 = 90 degrees

12x = 132 degrees

x = 132/12 = 11

Now, we can solve for the measure of angles 1 and 2.

Measure of angle 1:

11x-42 = 121 - 42 = 79 degrees

Measure of angle 2:

x = 11 degrees
