Answer:

one is 2 and another is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

let n be the positive integer and n' be the greater integer.

Given condition

n+5=n' ......eqn i

n×n'=14

n(n+5)=14. [from equation i]

n²+5n-14=0

n²+7n-2n-14=0

(n-2)(n+7)=0

either. or

n=2. n=-7(impossible)

therefore n=2 and hence n'=n+5=7.
