Answer:

[tex]68°[/tex]

Complementary Angles sum up to 90°, so set both expressions equal to 90°:

90° = [2x + 2]° + [6x + 8]°

90° = [8x + 10]°

-10° - 10°

___________

80° = [8x]°

__ ___

8° 8°

[tex]10° = x[/tex] [Plus this back into both expressions above to get the smaller angle measure of 22°, and the larger angle of 68°.]

* 90° = 22° + 68°☑
