The use of these two sentences are interchangeable; it doesn’t matter which you use, it’s still understandable either way!
Q. “Can’t you play soccer?”
A. “No, I don’t understand the rules.”
Q. “Are you going to study for the test?”
A. “No, I can’t understand what the study guide is talking about.”
As you can see, it doesn’t matter which you use no matter the question, it still gets you to the same end goal: not understanding.
Hope this helps! ^^
