All you have to do is set the equation

We call Rick r and Jim j

r+j=49500

r= 3j-500 because rick is 500 when Jim is 3 times his amount.

So all you have to do left is solve it.

Subtitles

3j-500+j=49500

4j=50000
J= 12500 dollars

Subtitles

R= 3(12500)-500= 37000 dollars

In conclusion rick salary is 37000 and Jim is 12500

Hope this helps and if it does please give a brainliest answer :)
