    11 and 79 degrees.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can figure it out by making a equation system:

    x + y = 90 (complementary angles)

    x - y = 68 (difference between the two angles)

    From 1st equation, we ge x=90-y. Let 'sreplace into the 2nd equation:

    (90 - y) - y = 68

    90 - 2y = 68

    -2y = 68 - 90

    y = - 22/-2

    y = 11

    Now, x will be y+68, so x=79
