instead : there are a few sentences where it would be an acceptable translation (although always with the idea of substitution, not a general "instead of"): 无疑这是使用机器代替手工所产生的结果。 In any case, it shouldn't be the first def, and it should be "instead of" (it's always a preposition, never an adverb)

X for Y : that's probably clear enough from "to substitute" and is not limited to algebra.
Diff:
- 代替 代替 [dai4 ti4] /instead/to replace/to substitute (X for Y, or a number in an algebraic expression)/
+ 代替 代替 [dai4 ti4] /to replace/to take the place of/
