    24, 66

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Complementary angles add to 90

    x is the first angle

    x+42 is the second angle

    x+x+42 = 90

    2x+42 = 90

    Subtract 42 from each side

    2x+42-42 = 90-42

    2x = 48

    Divide by 2

    2x/2 = 48/2

    x = 24

    The second angle is 24+42 = 66

    24° and 66°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Angle 1 = x

    Angle 2 = x + 42°

    x + x + 42° = 90°

    Subtract 42° from both sides and add

    2x = 48°

    Divide by 2

    x = 24°

    24° and 66°
