If, after adding those channels, you were to wait long enough for the system to equilibrate (i.e., reach a stable state in which the number and type of molecule in each compartment no longer changes much over time), about how many peptide molecules would you expect to find on the left side of the cell and how many on the right? How about the water molecules? Explain your reasoning.

1 We can infer that when permeable channels are added to the peptides and a cell is incorporated in water, the concentration of peptides and water will change, generating an equilibrium causing an equivalence of equal intracellular and extracellular concentration

2. If there is no alteration and the environment is in equilibrium, we can say that there will be an equal concentration of petids and water in the intracellular and extracellular space. If we have 40 peptides on the left side, the right side will move looking for a balance and that both environments are the same, becoming 60 for each of the spaces

The number of peptides molecules on the both sides of the cell will be equal while
The water molecules will be equal on both sides of the cell .

Although your question has some missing details a general answer is provided above

After adding the channels to a system to achieve equilibrium the number of peptide molecules on both sides of the cell have to be equal.

A difference in the peptide molecules on either side of the cell will lead to a diffusion gradient and this will lead to diffusion of peptide molecules from the side with higher concentration of peptide molecules to the side with lower concentration of peptide molecules ( this means that the system is not at a stable state ). while

A difference in the concentration of the water molecules will lead to an osmotic gradient ( this means the system is not at a stable state ).

Hence we can conclude that for the system to reach a stable state the number of peptide molecules and the water molecules on both sides of the cell should be equal.
