Let x be the money distributed to the first group and y be the money distributed to the second group.

Then, x + y = 1000

Let c be the money distributed to one child in the first group and b be the money distributed to one brother in the second group.

Then, x = 5c and y = 2b

Hence 5c + 2b = 1000.
