Answer:

10 and 5

Explanation:

Difference means subtraction and sum means addition, so two numbers added together is 15 but subtracted is 5 so we know that the sum is 15 and when one of the numbers subtracts the other, the difference is 5, so 5 is one of the numbers. Therefore:

15 - 5 = 10, 10 is the other number
