A man leaves an inheritance of $ 16,500 to be divided among three sons and two daughters, and mandates that every daughter receives more $ 2,000 that son . Find the part of every son and daughter.

D=2000+S.

3S+2D=16500.

3S+2(2000+S)=16500.

3S+4000+2S=16500.

5S=16500-4000.

S=12500/5.

=$2500.

D=2000+2500

=$4500.
