Answer
Amount received by Sean = 6,500 Dollars
Amount received by George = 3,500 Dollars
Work Step by Step
Let's assume that the amount received by Sean = x.
George is to receive $3000 less than Sean, thus
Amount received by George = x - 3000.
Amount received by Sean + Amount received by George = 10,000 dollars.
x + ( x-3000) = 10,000
2x - 3000 = 10,000
2x = 10,000 + 3,000
2x = 13,000
x = 6,500 Dollars
So Amount received by Sean = 6,500 Dollars.
Amount received by George = (6,500 - 3000) = 3,500 Dollars.
