Answer:

32° and 58°

Explanation:

These two angles must add up to 90° because they are complementary.

(x + 26) + x = 90

This can be expanded to:

2x + 26 = 90

Subtract 26 from both sides:

2x + 26 - 26 = 90 - 26

2x = 64

Divide both sides by two:

x = 32

So naturally, the other angle is this subtracted from 90:

90 - 32 = 58

So the two angles are 32° and 58°.

Hope this helps
