Year 10 Lesson 11 Substitution, forming and solving linear equations and simultaneous equations

What does maths have to do with the saving a stranded vessel?

In this lesson from our Pearson Edexcel Maths qualifications team and LGfL (London Grid for Learning), we’ll explore how using substitution, forming linear equations and simultaneous equations and solving them can help you ensure there’s the right number of lifeboats for passengers on the stranded vessel.

You’ll need some some paper, something to write with and a calculator to help you make the most of this lesson.

Everyone studying GCSE-level maths is welcome to join our lessons to build their skills and continue their learning, whether you’re taking the course at school, college or remotely, and regardless of exam board.

The sessions are described as ‘Year 10’ or ‘Year 11’ just to highlight that they’re for different stages of learning – whether you’re partway through the course or close to completing it. As such, anyone in Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11 can find this helpful for their maths studies.

Note: a subtitled version of this lesson will be available after the live lesson has finished.
