You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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?
