    x = 71 degrees

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the angle be "x".

    Its supplement is "180-x"

    Equation:

    supp - angle = 38 degrees

    180-x - x = 38

    -2x = - 142

    smaller angle = 26 degrees

    learger angle = 64 degrees

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Complementary angle: 2 angles that add to 90 degrees

    x = larger angle

    x + x - 38 = 90

    2x - 38 = 90

    2x = 128

    x = 64

    Smaller angle = x - 38

    smaller angle = 26
