The value of football is -21. The value of the helmet is -42. The value of the play chart is 60. The value of padding is 60. The value of the question mark is 165.

Let the football be x and the helmet be y. So, as per the first equation:

x+x=y

2x=y

Substituting this in equation 2 we get:

-3(2x+1)=123

-6x-3=123

-6x=123+3

-6x=126

x=126/-6

x=-21

Therefore, the value of football is -21.

Substituting the value of football in the first equation, we get:

-21-21=y

y=-42

Therefore, the value of the helmet is -42.

Now, let's consider the play chart to be (a) and padding to be (b). So, the third equation becomes:

a+b-(-21)=141 (as we calculated the value of football to be -21)

a+b+21=141

a+b=141-21

a+b=120

Now, adding the equations three and four, we get:

a+b+a-b=120+0

2a=120

a=120/2

a=60

Therefore, the value of the play chart is 60. Substituting this value in equation three we get:

60+b-(-21)=141

b=141-21-60

b=60

Therefore, the value of padding is 60.

Substituting the calculated values in the last equation, we get:

60-(-21)-2(-42)=?

60+21-(-84)=?

81+84=?

=165

Therefore, the value of the question mark is 165.
