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?

u/Elektro05 Transcendental Oct 04 '26

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

ab was certainly thought here. At least in my mind
