Fruit equation

Find how many peaches could be bought instead of buying one melon, one pear, one apple, and two plums if
we know that:
• Melon and plum cost the same as three apples
• if we subtract the price of a pear from the price of peach, we get the price of plum
• Two peaches and one pear stand together just like a melon and an apple
• Apple and pear stand together just like plum and peach together.

Correct answer:

x =  4
