    8, 82

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x = angle measure

    y = complement

    y = x+74

    Complements add to 90

    x+y = 90

    Substitute y = x+74 into the equation

    x + x+74 = 90

    Combine like terms

    2x+74 = 90

    Subtract 74 from each side

    2x+74-74 = 90-74

    2x = 16

    Divide by 2

    2x/2 = 16/2

    x=8

    The first angle is 8

    8+74 = 82

    The other angle is 82
