    x=37

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.

    Let's first find the measure of the complement.

    90-32=58

    Now we can set the numerical value of it equal to the expression it gave us.

    2x-16=58

    We have to isolate x.

    Lets add 16 to both sides

    2x=74

    Divide both sides by 2.

    x=37
