Answer: the taxi travelled 11 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of miles that the taxi traveled.

The cost of the taxi was 4 dollars plus 3 dollars for each mile traveled. It means that the total cost of renting and driving the taxi over x miles is

4 + 3x

The Lopez rented the taxi and when they arrived at their destination, the total cost 37 dollars. It means that

4 + 3x = 37

3x = 37 - 4

3x = 33

x = 33/3

x = 11 miles
