  • Sherry first took the multiplication instead of taking the sum of 16 and 9 first.
  • The right expression is: 2* (16+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sherry's expression was:

(2*16)+9

Her expression was wrong because it is mentioned that twice the sum of 16 and 9 which means that first the sum has to be calculated then the sum will be multiplied by two.
