So let apples be A. Plums are B. Pears are P.

13B=2A+1P

4B+1A=1P

So 13B=2A+(4B+1A)

Lets subtract 4 plums from both sides. 13-4=9 and 4-4=0. Then we add up the apples, so 2+1=3. 3 apples equals 9 plums . So 1 apple equals 3 plums. Then the problem states four plums and one apple equal the weight of one pear. So 4+(1x3)=7. So the answer is 7 plums equals 1 pear.
