Fill in the blank/s: The average velocity on an outgoing trip is x miles per hour. The average velocity on the return trip is 20 miles per hour slower, so the average velocity on the return trip is ................. miles per hour. The distance covered on the return trip is 30 miles, so the time on the return trip is ________ hours.
