x and 90-x are the angles
45/45 would be two odd numbers
44/46 are the two consecutive even numbers. They add to 90

The number of degrees in two complementary angles can be represented by two consecutive even numbers. Find the number of degrees in each angle

Let smaller angle be A
Then larger is: A + 2
We then get: A + A + 2 = 90
2A = 90 - 2
2A = 88
A, or smaller angle = , or
Larger angle: 44 + 2, or
