There are not just "the two ways" to represent this expression. There are two ways, surely, but they are not the only ways as implied.
You could expose 4 and get something like [tex]4(\frac{3}{4}-n)[/tex] or expose 3 and get something like [tex]3(1-\frac{4}{3}n)[/tex].
But you could also say something like [tex]3-(1+3)n=3-n-3n=-3(n-1)-n[/tex]... in fact there are a lot of ways to write any expression.
Hope this helps :)
