Hi,

The difference between an angle and its complement is 38°

  x - (90°-x) = 38°

  x -90° + x = 38°

       2x = 128°

        x = 64°   It's complement 26°

and...

 64° -26° = 38°

 Let x represent the angle and 90-x represent it's complement.



x - (90-x) = 38

x - 90 + x = 38

2x - 90 = 38

2x - 90 + 90 = 38 + 90

2x = 128

2x/2 = 128/2

x= 64

90 - x = 26
