Answer:

Speed BA = 18 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed AB = 30km/hr

Speed BA = x km/hr

Average speed = 24 km/hr

To find the value of x;

Average speed = (Speed AB + Speed BA)/2

Substituting into the equation, we have

24 = (30 + x)/2

48 = 30 + x

x = 48 - 30

x = 18 km/hr
