You know that the sum of a and b is 24, because the average is the sum of the numbers divided by the amount of numbers added together, and 12*2 is 24. Add 3 to 24 so you have 27, and then divide that by 3 because there are now 3 numbers in the set. The average of a, b, and c is 9.
<span>Jonathan Swift used "Book Three" of Gulliver's Travels to satirize the Dutch because of William's connections with Holland. William of Orange was king of England in the 17th century and he lived in the Netherlands/Holland for a long time before coming to England to claim his rightful throne. Swift wasn't really a fan of this which is why he wanted to satirize the whole affair in his novel.</span>

(C) Look before you leap is a theme because it is teaching me to be careful.
(D) courage means to be brave is not a theme because it isn't even telling me a lesson even though it's saying a fact but not a lesson.
