If the numbers' sum is 8, they can be...

 

1 and 7

 

2 and 6

 

3 and 5

 

4 and 4

 

I assume we are going to the negatives, though, there is no number that has a difference of 14 here.

 

-3 and 11 have a difference of 14 and a sum of 8, therefore...

 

The two numbers you are looking for are...

 

-3 and 11
