To find the number of hours, \( h \), that Mateo rented the bike, we need to consider the total cost of renting the bike, which includes both the hourly rate and the automatic charge.

The total cost can be expressed as the sum of the automatic charge of $13 and the hourly cost of $4 multiplied by the number of hours, \( h \). Therefore, the equation would be:

\[
4h + 13 = 37
\]

This means that Mateo paid $37 in total, and this total consists of the $13 flat fee plus $4 per hour for \( h \) hours.

So the correct equation is:

**4h + 13 = 37**
(4 h plus 13 is equal to 37)
