Question

the complement of angle a is 38 degrees more than angle a find the measure of angle a please help

Answer 1

Compliment means the angles add up to 90°. If c is the compliment, then we have:
a+c=90°

Answer 2

We're told that the complement is 38° more than the angle. Using that information, we have:
a + (a+38) = 90
2a + 38 = 90

Answer 3

Yes. Then divide by 2.
