    44 degrees and 46 degrees.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If one angle is x degrees then its complementary angle is 90 - x degrees.

    x is 2 degrees less than (90 - x) degrees so:-

    (90 - x) - x = 2

    90 - 2x = 2

    2x = 88

    x = 44

    the other angle = 90 - 44 = 46 degrees.
