Answer:

4 and 6

Explanation:

First, let's find all the pairs that add up to 10.

  • 1 + 9, 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6, and 5 + 5

Next, we find the difference between the addends for each pair.

  • 9 - 1 = 8
  • 8 - 2 = 6
  • 7 - 3 = 4
  • 6 - 4 = 2
  • 5 - 5 = 0

As you can, see the numbers that add to 10 and have a different of 2 is 4 and 6.
