    54 degrees

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

    3:2

    Multiply each by x

    3x:2x

    Add the angles together and set equal to 90

    3x+2x = 90

    Combine like terms

    5x = 90

    Divide each side by 5

    5x/5 = 90/x

    x = 18

    The angles are 3x = 3 (18) = 54

    and 2x = 2 (18) = 36
