You could represent paying $10 + $4 an hour by this equation:
y = 10 + 4x
X represents the number of hours the canoe was rented. Y is the total amount of money owed.

If $30 was the total amount of money owed, than you can plug 30 in for y, then solve for x

30 = 10 + 4x | Subtract 10 from each side
20 = 4x | Divide each side by 4 to solve for x
x = 5

Jaden rented the canoe for 5 hours

Answer:

She rented the canoe for 5 hours.

Explanation:

I got the answer by first subtracting $10 from $30 for the price of the canoe, witch is $20. Then you would divide $20 by $4 and get 5.
