I did the challenge (with different values than you, but same concepts) and this is what I got to pass:

function returnValue(myValue){
  return myValue;
}
var echo = returnValue("Hello World");

Also in your math for the average, you should maybe have parenthesis around the 20 and 30 so it doesn't divide 30 by 2 before adding 20.... Hope this helps!
