As the problem is worded, it makes me shudder.
Below I write how it should sound in normal Math language:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| If the hypotenuse of a triangle is 10 inches longer |
| than the shorter leg and 5 inches longer than the longer leg, |
| what are the sides of the triangle? |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
My advise to the Math composer is to learn the basic terminology
of the subject and use it properly.
