The first number is the base time and the second one is the number of seconds added to a player's clock after their move

10 is the time per side and the 15 is the increment

It is called increment

In 10/15, 10 is a actual time and 15 is just added, there is not difference in 25 or 10/15.

Well, no. Each player is not given 25 minutes in a 10/15 game. They start with 10 minutes. Every time they move, 15 seconds is added.

#9 the increment is the amount of seconds added each move…
