What about combustion reaction makes them different from either synthesis or decomposition reaction?

The short answer is combustion reactions are a subset of synthesis reactions that require one of the reactants to be oxygen. Common combustion of organic molecules results in the formation of CO2 . However, it is not required that combustion be limited to organic molecules. They are different from decomposition reactions in the same way synthesis is the opposite of decomposition.

What is the difference between combustion and decomposition?

Combustion is where a substance reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Example: methane burning is CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O Decomposition is where one substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Example: decomp of hydrogen peroxide is 2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2
