This is an interesting statement!
Is there more to come?
Without more information, you won't be able to find two unique integers to satisfy this statement.
Look, let y be the larger integer and x be the smaller integer, so you can write:
y = 2x-10 Since x must be an integer, it can be 1, 2, 3, ...or -1, -2, -3,...and for each of these values, you can find a corresponding value of y that is also an integer.
So, where do you want to go with this?
