The best wording for your description seems to be, "Find two numbers such that the sum of their squares is five times the square of half the smaller number".

x%3Cy;
x%5E2%2By%5E2=5%2A%28%281%2F2%29x%29%5E2
-
y%5E2%2Bx%5E2-%285%2F4%29x%5E2=0
y%5E2-%281%2F4%29x%5E2=0
y%5E2=%281%2F4%29x%5E2
y=0%2B-+%281%2F2%29x, not a unique solution
