Sit down and talk to Maureen. tell her how it feels to be on the other side. Make sure to support her friendship with Glenna, but let her know that it is making you feel uncomfortable. Maybe talk about trying to do some activities alone. Another thing you could do is bring it up with Glenna. If you let her know how you feel she might be understanding and help to include you more. If both girls refuse to compromise then they probably aren't worth being friends with. And you probably will find another friend who you will become close with you just need to give it time.

simplify brackets

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

simplify 8 - 2a - 7 to -2a + 1

-2a + 1 = a + 40

add 2a to both sides

1 = a + 40 + 2a

simplify a + 40 + 2a to 3a + 40

1 = 3a + 40

subtract 40 from both sides

1 - 40 = 3a

simplify 1 - 40 o -39

-39 = 3a

divide both sides by 3

-39/3 = a

simplify 39/3 to 13

-13 = a

switch sides

a = -13
