Answer:

39,51

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

Let one angle be x

The other angle is x+12

x+ x+12 = 90

Combine like terms

2x+12 = 90

Subtract 12 from each side

2x+12-12 = 90-12

2x = 78

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 78/2

x =39

The other angle is 39+12 =51
