knashha has beat me to the answer I would have given. However, I will also add that x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, and z2 don't have to be integers. The only requirement is that y2z1 - y1z2 not be zero. If x1y2 - x2y1 is zero, then an apple is equal to zero peaches, whatever that may mean.

multiply eqn1 by y2 and eqn2 by y1, then you can subtract
and get rid of the plums,
(x1y2-x2y1) peaches = (z1y2-z2y1) apples. Solving,
(x1y2-x2y1)/(z1y2-z2y1) peaches = 1 apple.
