The two angle measures of complementary angles can be expressed as 3x and (2x - 5) °.

Since complementary angles sum up to 90°, we can set up the equation:

3x + (2x - 5) = 90

Simplifying this equation, we get:

5x - 5 = 90

Adding 5 to both sides, we have:

5x = 95

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

x = 19

Now we can substitute this value back into the equation to find the angle measures:

Angle 1: 3x = 3(19) = 57°

Angle 2: 2x - 5 = 2(19) - 5 = 38 - 5 = 33°

Therefore, the two angle measures of complementary angles, expressed as 3x and (2x - 5) °, are 57° and 33°.

So, the answer is: O 57° and 33°.
