Answer:

  43.6°, 46.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller angle. Then the complementary angle is (90°-x). The problem statement tells us the relation is ...

  x = (90°-x) -2.8°

  2x = 87.2° . . . . . add x, collect terms

  x = 43.6° . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the complementary angle is ...

  90°-x = 46.4°

The measures of the angles are 43.6° and 46.4°.
