Backward substitution is a method used to solve a system of linear equations where the coefficients are arranged in upper triangular form. This technique involves starting from the last equation and solving for the variable, then substituting that value back into the previous equations to find the other variables sequentially. It is particularly useful in solving systems that have been simplified through factorization methods, allowing for an efficient computation of the solution vector.
