Answer :

Two angles are called complementary when their measures add to 90 degrees.

So:

∠A = ∠B - 22° (1)

∠A + ∠B = 90° (2)

We need to solve the equation's system, as follows:

From eq 1. we have solved for ∠A; so replacing it on eq 2:

∠B - 22° + ∠B = 90°

2∠B - 22° = 90°

2∠B = 112°

∠B = 56°

Replacing it on eq 1:

∠A = 56° - 22°

∠A = 34°
