Answer:

8 and 1

Explanation:

The sum means that the two numbers added together make up what they're asking. Difference means you're subtracting between the two. For our purposes, we can just look at each answer option and firstly see which one has a difference of 7.

8-1=7

4-5=-1

6-3=3

9-0=0

And just to double check, we try adding 8 and 1, which is 9! Yay! :P
