Answer:

the angles are 75 and 15

Explanation:

Our task is to find the other angle, given that the two angles are complementary.

Complementary angles add up to 90°.

Therefore,


\angle1+\angle2=90

One of the angles measures 60° more than the other one. Therefore, the equation is:


x+x+60=90

Combine like terms:


2x+60=90


2x=30


x=15

The other angle:


15+60=75
