I'm a straight A math whiz too for the most part (maybe not for Differential equations, I blew that class off ).

The problem is like I said before, your wife, because she knows math so well, is assuming things based on a poorly written problem.

The 2(9+3) is not in parentheses, so there is no reason to put both terms under the line as your wife did.
