Let us assume 'x' is an angle and 'x-18' is its complement
So, x + x -18 = 90
2x = 90 + 18
2x = 108
x = 108/2
=> x = 54 degrees
Verification: we know that 54 degrees + 36 degrees = 90 degrees
now, 54 - 36 = 18
Therefore, the required angle is 36 degrees - because they have asked for an angle that is 18 degrees LESS than its complement
