Answer:

Explanation:

Two angles are complementary if their sum is equal to 90 degrees. So, we can write an equation:

4x + 14 + 3x - 15 = 90

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

7x - 1 = 90

7x = 91

x = 13

Now, we can use x to find the measures of the two angles:

The first angle is 4x + 14 = 4(13) + 14 = 66 degrees.

The second angle is 3x - 15 = 3(13) - 15 = 24 degrees.

Therefore, the measures of the two angles are 66 degrees and 24 degrees.
