Step-by-step explanation:
You aren't able to figure out an exact number of either footballs or basketballs because you don't have enough information for that, but you do have enough to get an expression for one in terms of the other, which I imagine is the point here. We know that for every 1 basketball sold, we sold 2.5 footballs, so the algebraic expression for that is
1 bball = 2.5 fballs
This gives us the number of bballs in terms of fballs but we want the number of fballs in terms of bballs, so solve that expression for fballs:
1 fball = 1/2.5 bballs
or, in words, for every single football sold, 2/5 of a basketball was sold. Sounds silly, but I think your teacher is trying to get you to figure out how to express one thing in terms of another so you can use the expressions in solving story problems.

Answer:
(-3,3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using elimination:
Multiply the first equation by 8 and the second by 5 which equals
40x+56y=48
-40-60y=-60
Now you add them together
40x+(-40x)=0 so that crosses out
56y+(-60y)= -4y
48+(-60)=-12
You now have -4y=-12
Divide by -4
y=3
Now plug in y to any of the equations
5x+7(3)=6
5x+21=6
Subtract 21 from both sides
5x=-15
Divide by 5
x=-3
Your final solution is (-3,3)
