    5°, 85°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let angles be x and 17x

    x + 17x = 90

    18x = 90

    x = 5

    17x = 85

    5, 85

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

    Let x = 1st angle

    17x is the 2nd angle

    x+17x = 90

    18x = 90

    Divide each side by 18

    18x/18 = 90/18

    x = 5

    The first angle is 5

    second angle is 18*5 = 85
