Distribution is Multiplication. If you distribute the 2 in to the parenthesis before you solve what's inside the parenthesis, you've violated the standard order of operations. You have to do what's inside the Parenthesis first.
Remember, the distributive property applies to multiplying by a polynomial. 9+3 is not a polynomial.
