The sum of complementary angles is always 90 degrees.
So, we have the equation: (x+3) + (4x-2) = 90
Combine like terms: 5x + 1 = 90
Subtract 1 from both sides: 5x = 89
Divide both sides by 5: x = 17.8
Therefore, the measures of the two adjacent complementary angles are (17.8+3) degrees and (4(17.8)-2) degrees.
