    Let a be the amount at 5.1% and b be the amount at 6.3% interest.

    0.051a + 0.063b = 582.72 ... (1)

    a + b = 10000

    b = 10000 - a ... (2)

    Plugging the expression for b from equation (2) into equation (1), we get:

    0.051a + 0.063 (10000 - a) = 582.72 ... (3)

    Expanding (3) and collecting like terms, we get:

    0.012a = 47.28

    a = 3940

    b = 10000 - 3940 = 6060

    The answer is: $3,940 invested at 5.1% and $6,060 invested at 6.3% interest.
