Smaller integer = 13, Greater integer = 75

Explanation:

Let x & y be the greater & smaller integers respectively:

#x+y=88# => eq-1
#x/y=5+10/y# => eq-2
Solve for y in terms of x in eq-1:
#y=88-x#
Substitute for y in eq-2:
#x/(88-x)=5+10/(88-x)#
#x = 5(88-x)+10#
#x+5x=440+10#
#6x=450#
#x=75#
#y=88-75=13#
Check:
#75+13=88#
#75/13=5 10/13#

#75,13#

Explanation:

Let #a and b# be the two integers, and #a>b#,
#=> a+b=88, => a=88-b#
given that if #a/b#, then the quotient is 5 and the remainder is 10,
#=> (a-10)/b=5#,
#=> 88-b-10=5b#,
#=> 78=6b#,
#=> b=78/6=13#
#=> a=88-b=88-13=75#
