    The odometer showed 6,015.2 miles at the beginning of the trip.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The odometer increases according to the number of miles traveled.

    Before the trip, it showed x miles.

    During the trip, the car was driven 422.3 miles.

    After the trip, it showed 6,437.5 miles.

    So

    x + 422.3 = 6437.5

    x = 6437.5 - 422.3

    x = 6,015.2

    The odometer showed 6,015.2 miles at the beginning of the trip.
