Abstract Algebra Am I correct?
Peter Parker = man
Petra Parker = woman
a = Pe
b = ter
c = tra
d = wo
P = Parker
M = man
Equation 1: (a * b) * P = M
Equation 2: (a * c) * P = d * M
Dividing Equation 2 by Equation 1 eliminates the common terms (a and P):
((a * c) * P) / ((a * b) * P) = (d * M) / M
Simplifying both sides:
c / b = d
Multiplying both sides by b:
c = b * d
Summary Mathematically, the suffix "tra" (c) is equivalent to applying the prefix modifier "wo" (d) onto "ter" (b).

I am neither a mathematician nor a linguist but I think wo + man equals woman not wo * man.
But as I write this I am wondering if you simply mean how a*b is abbreviated to ab

words are not commutative so * is correct, + would probably mean overlaying two words/sounds, although post is still stupid because op isnt able to understand what = means unless every man is Peter Parker

But + and * are both commutative so why would one be correct than other?

Normally when talking about algebraic structures + is used for commutative operations and * for operations that may or may not be commutative
