Let x be the measure of the smaller angle.


Then the measure of the larger angle is  2x-9 degrees.


The sum of the measures is 90 degrees, since the angles are complementary.


    x + (2x-9) = 90  degrees.


Simplify and find x


    3x = 90 + 9

    3x = 99

     x = 99/3 = 33.


ANSWER.  The smaller angle is 33 degrees.

         The larger angle is 2*33-9 = 57 degrees.
