Answer: (3x-3)= 63 degrees, (x+5)= 27 degrees

Explanation:

-Complementary angles are angles whose sum is 90 degrees

-So set both equation sums equal to 90 degrees

1. Add x values together (3x-3)+(x+5)=90

2. Solve for x (4x+2) =90

3. x=22

4. Plug in x into both equations

(3(22)-3)= 63 degrees

(22)+5= 27 degrees

(You can see that both answers add up to 90, which is a way you can check your work!)
