    The angles are 39 and 51

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x be the unknown angle

    x+12 is the complement

    Complements add to 90

    x+x+12 = 90

    Combine like terms

    2x+12 = 90

    Subtract 12 from each side

    2x+12-12 = 90-12

    2x = 78

    Divide by 2

    2x/2 = 78/2

    x = 39

    x+12 = 39+12

    =51
