We'll be glad to check your answers.

Be sure you know what complementary and supplementary angles are.
1)

6 y + 3° is first angle

4 y - 13° is second angle

6 y + 3° + 4 y - 13° = 180°

10 y - 10° = 180°

10 y = 180° + 10°

10 y = 190°

y = 190° / 10

y = 19°

6 y + 3° = 6 ∙ 19° + 3° = 114° + 3° = 117°

4 y - 13° = 4 ∙ 19° - 13° = 76° - 13° = 63°

117° and 63°

2)

x is first angle

x + 26° is second angle

x + x + 26° = 90°

2 x + 26° = 90°

2 x = 90° - 26°

2 x = 64°

x = 64° / 2

x = 32°

32° is first angle

x + 26° = 32° + 26° = 58° is second angle

32° and 58°
