Smaller integer = 13, Greater integer = 75

Explanation:

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

x+y=88 => eq-1
xy=5+10y => eq-2
Solve for y in terms of x in eq-1:
y=88x
Substitute for y in eq-2:
x88x=5+1088x
x=5(88x)+10
x+5x=440+10
6x=450
x=75
y=8875=13
Check:
75+13=88
7513=51013

75,13

Explanation:

Let aandb be the two integers, and a>b,
a+b=88,a=88b
given that if ab, then the quotient is 5 and the remainder is 10,
a10b=5,
88b10=5b,
78=6b,
b=786=13
a=88b=8813=75
