No she didnt write a correct expression

Step-by-step explanation:

the correct expression should have been 6 * (4+5) or 6 * (5+4). Sherry found the product of 6,5, and 4, instead of the product of 6 and the sum of 5 and 4. In addition, the two expressions above are both correct because both do represent the product of 6 and the sum of 5 and 4. 5+4 and 4+5 are the same.
