You can put this solution on YOUR website! A total of 10,000 is to be divide between Sean and George, with George to receive $3000 less than Sean. How much will each receive?
-------------------------------
Equations:
s + g = 10,000
g = s-3000
-----------------
Rearrange:
s + g = 10,000
s - g = 3000
-----------------
2s = 13000
s = $6500 (amt. Sean will receive)
----
g = s-3000 = $3500 (amt. George will receive)
