He drove the truck for 189 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Base fee = $18.95

Let x be the miles.

Charges per mile = 73 cents = $0.73

Total payment = P =  $156.92

According to given statement;

P(x)= 0.73x + 18.95

[tex]156.92=0.73x+18.95\\156.92-18.95=0.73x\\137.97=0.73x\\0.73x=137.97\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.73

[tex]\frac{0.73x}{0.73}=\frac{137.97}{0.73}\\x=189[/tex]

He drove the truck for 189 miles.
