She sold 8 pepper plants.

From this problem I made the equation
7p+p=64

I knew that it needed to be 7 times however many pepper plants she sold, so I substituted p until it equaled 64.

7*8+8=64
56+8=64
64=64

So she sold 8 pepper plants and 56 tomato plants for a total of 64 plants.

Answer:

8 pepper plants were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming [tex]x=[/tex] the number of pepper plants sold, she sold [tex]7x[/tex] tomato plants and [tex]x[/tex] pepper plants, and since tomato plants sold + pepper plants sold = 64, we can turn this into the equation [tex]7x+x=64[/tex]. To solve this first we combine like terms to get [tex]8x=64[/tex]. Cancel the 8 by dividing both sides by 8 and we get [tex]x=8[/tex], which is the number of pepper plants sold. (We could also multiply x by 7 to get the number of tomato plants sold, which is 56.) Hope this helps!
