4x°+3°=90°
left parenthesis 4 x plus 3 right parenthesis degrees equals 90 degrees

4x°−3°=90°
left parenthesis 4 x minus 3 right parenthesis degrees equals 90 degrees

2x°+3°=90°
left parenthesis 2 x plus 3 right parenthesis degrees equals 90 degrees

2x°−3°=90°

When two angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees. Given the angles are (x−6)° and (3x+3)°, we can write the equation as follows:

\[ (x - 6) + (3x + 3) = 90 \]

Now, combine like terms:

\[ x - 6 + 3x + 3 = 90 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 4x - 3 = 90 \]

To isolate the variable, you would add 3 to both sides:

\[ 4x = 93 \]

Therefore, the simplified equation derived from the angles being complementary is:

\[ 4x - 3 = 90 \]

Thus, the correct response is:

4x°−3°=90°

So, in response format:

left parenthesis 4 x minus 3 right parenthesis degrees equals 90 degrees
