Solution

In the picture we see that:

Three soccer balls = 45

That is, a soccer ball = 15

Basketball + 2 soccer balls = 61

Basketball = 61 - 30

Basketball = 31

The third equation shows that 2 foot pads + soccer ball = 237

2 foot pads = 237 - 15 = 111

Now for the last equation:

Basketball + foot pad + soccer ball = 31 + 111 + 15 = 157
