Let's assume Lindsay has $x.

Given that, kate has 4 times as much as lindsay .

So, Kate have $4x.

The other information is that Kate and lindsey have $3450 together.

Which means sum of x and 4x must be equa to 3450. Therefore, we can set up an equation as following:

x + 4x = 3450

5x = 3450 Combine the like terms.


(5x)/(5) =(3450)/(5) Divide each sides by 5 to isolate x.

So, x = 690.

So, Kate have 4x = 4(690) = 2760.

So, Kate have $2760

Hope this helps you !
