Answer:

Smaller angle: 42 degrees
Larger Angle: 48 degrees

Explanation:

As shown by your answer choice above x + (x-6) = 90 where we know that x is the measure of the angle.

After combining like terms we get that 2x-6 = 90 and then adding 6 to both sides gives us that 2x = 96 which means x = 48. The complement is 90-48 which is 42 degrees.

We see that 48 is 6 degrees larger than 42 which is stated.

48 > 42

42 < 48

Smaller Angle: 42 degrees
Larger Angle: 48 degrees
