If #peaches = x and #plums = y we can write the following equations:
x+y=15
0.89x + 0.39y = 8.85
and x and y are whole numbers.
converting the first to x=15-y and plugging it into the second, you get
0.89(15-y) + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
13.35 - 0.89y + 0.39y = 8.85 =>
4.5 = 0.5y =>
y = 9
so x = 15-9 = 6

Step-by-step explanation:
First let’s multiply. 8x-4=-3x+32. Start collecting like terms on different sides. 8x+3x=32+4. 11x=36. x=36/11. x=3.27.
