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
