The directions say to

Translate the following phrases into algebraic expressions. Explain, in complete sentences, the difference between the two.
(1.) The difference of 3 times n and 2
(2.) 3 times the difference of n and 2

And I put "The difference of 3 times n and 2 means -3 * n + 2 and 3 times the difference of n and 2 means 3(n - 2)"

Did I get it right? Translating phrases are confusing to me.
