How are transitive property and substitution property different?

There are a couple differences, but in equations, they are often used interchangeably. In geometry, you have to use transitive if you have congruence statements because you are not talking about measures of angles or lengths of segments, you are talking about the set of points that makes up those objects. They are congruent, not equal. Substitution is used for values or variable that represent numbers (like AB means the length of segment AB, but AB with the bar over it means segment AB, the points that make up AB).
Also, you couldn't use transitive for something like this, it's just substitution:
If x+y = z and x = 30, then 30+y = z
I like to think of applying transitive when I have a "link" that connects the two equations or congruencies to each other. For example, If A = 40 and A = X+Y, then 40=X+Y. The two quantities are linked by A. Of course, substitution applies there too

What is the definition of substitution property?
Its an algebra property(: ask someone else cause i got no idea!
Which property is illustrated by the following statement if ABC is congruent to def and def to xyz then ABC is congruent to xyz?
Transitive
What is the definition of the transitive property of equality?
The transitive property of equality states for any real numbers a, b, and c: If a = b and b = c, then a = c. For example, 5 = 3 + 2. 3 + 2 = 1 + 4. So, 5 = 1 + 4. Another example: a = 3. 3 = b. So, a = b.
What are the Properties of equality in algebra?
for any real numbers x, y and z: REFLEXIVE PROPERTY; x=x SYMMETRIC PROPERTY; if x=y, then y=x TRANSITIVE PROPERTY; if x=y and y=z then x=z
Is wash a transitive verb?
yes the word wash is transitive
What are properties of algebraic inequalities?
substitution property transitive property subtraction property addition property
What is the difference between transitive and substitution property of equality?
the transitive property is when x=y and y=z then x=z e.g 4+1 = 6-1 and 6-1 = 10/2 so 4+1 = 10/2 three terms involved and the substitution property is that if x=5 and x+1 =6 so 5+1 =6 that is you put the value of x into the equation and two terms are involved :)
What is the definition of substitution property of congruence?
There is not Substitution Property of Congruence. There is, however, one for Equality, called the Substitution Property of Equality.
What property states if a equals b and b equals c then a equals c?
Transitive PropertyThat's called the transitive property.
Can the transitive property be used for angles?
Yes

Transitive Property of Similarity
Does the transitive property apply for the law of sines?
No, it does not.
If abc is congruent to def and mno is congruent to pqr then is abc congruent to pqr by the transitive property?
True, ABC is congruent to PQR by the transitive property.
What is transitive property of congruence?
The transitive property is if angle A is congruent to angle B and angle B is congruent to angle C, then angle A is congruent to angle C.
What is the difference between the transitive property of congruence and parallel lines?
They are similar because they both have the definition of if A=B and B=C then A=C. They are different because since every parallel line is equal it shows that they do not exactly match up because of the transitive property of congruence.
What is reflexive symmetric and transitive properties of Congruence?
Congruence is basically the same as equality, just in a different form. Reflexive Property of Congruence: AB =~ AB Symmetric Property of Congruence: angle P =~ angle Q, then angle Q =~ angle P Transitive Property of Congruence: If A =~ B and B =~ C, then A =~ C
