Answer:

60 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't know how far Jimmy drives in each direction.  Let this distance be d.  Then, d = rate * time, and d = r(2 hours)  (where r represents his speed while driving to the ferry).

But it's also true that d = (r - 20 mph)(3 hours).

Equating d = r(2 hours)  and  d = (r - 20 mph)(3 hours), we get:

r(2) = (r - 20)(3), or 2r = 3r - 60.

Subtracting 2r from both sides yields 0 = r - 60, so that r = 60 mph.

Jimmy averaged 60 mph on the outbound trip.
