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.
that looks to be the problem, what is written vs what one thinks they are seeing.
