Problem K. 470. (October 2015)

K. 470. We have cubes of two different sizes, each with edges of integer length in cm. The edges of the red cubes are 5 cm longer than the edges of the blue ones. By stacking 15 cubes on top of each other, we got a tower of height 140 cm. How long are the edges if the difference between the numbers of red and blue cubes used is as small as possible?
