Answer:

Our two numbers are 50 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum means add together

Difference means subtract each other

x + y = 70

x - y = 30

subtract from each other

2x = 100

divide both sides by 2

x = 50

our first number is 50

50 + y = 70

subtract both sides by 50

y = 20

Our two numbers are 50 and 20

$\log_\frac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_\frac{1}{2}3x^2-\log_\frac{1}{2}2=\log_\frac{1}{2}3+\log_\frac{1}{2}x^2-\log_\frac{1}{2}2\\\\=\log_\frac{1}{2}(3)+2\log_\frac{1}{2}(x)-\log_\frac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{-1}\\\\=\log_\frac{1}{2}(3)+2\log_\frac{1}{2}(x)-\left[-\log_\frac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\right]\\\\=\log_\frac{1}{2}(3)+2\log_\frac{1}{2}(x)+\log_\frac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\\\\=\boxed{\log_\frac{1}{2}(3)+2\log_\frac{1}{2}(x)+1}$
