The answer is 2.4 km/h.
Distance = Speed * Time.
For the initial journey:
d=4*6
=24 km
He took the same path back thus the distance is the same.
24=10*speed
Speed = 2.4 km/h

A kayaker paddled 2 hours with a 6 mph current in a river The return trip against the same current took 3 hours Find the speed the kayaker would make in still water?
The distance that the kayaker traveled in 2 hours is equal to 2x + 12. The same distance was traveled in 3 hours but against the current, so that was 3x - 18. The equation is 2x + 12 = 3x - 18, or x = 30. The speed then was 30 mph.
