Wife. Son. Daughter
2D. D+1000. D
9000= 2d + D+1000 + D
9000= 4d + 1000
-1000
8000=4d
D=2000

So the daughter got 2000$
The son got 3000$ because it's 1000 more than the daughter which is 2000
And the mom got 4000 which is twice the daughters.

You can check by adding them together. 2000+3000+4000 is 9000.
