    11° and 79°

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Complementary angles sum to 90°

    let x be one angle then the other angle = x + 68, hence

    x + x + 68 = 90

    2x + 68 = 90 (subtract 68 from both sides)

    2x = 22 (divide both sides by 2)

    x = 11

    The 2 angles are x = 11° and x + 68 = 11 + 68 = 79°

    As a check : 11 + 79 = 90
