To find the total length of the rope before it was cut, we need to add the lengths of the two pieces together. We know that one piece has a length of 37 feet, and the length of the other piece is denoted as 'x'.

The total length of the rope is the sum of the lengths of the two pieces:
Total length = Length of the first piece + Length of the second piece

So, the total length of the rope is given by the expression:
Total length = 37 feet + x

Therefore, the total length of the rope before it was cut is 37 feet + x.
