regular (r)

Large (l)

ExtraLarge (e)


300r+500l+800e=19100\text{ }

this is the equation 1

the equation 2:


2.25r+3.25l+5.75e=133.25

the equation 3:


r+l+e=37
\begin{bmatrix}{300} & {500} & {800} \\ {2.25} & {3.25} & {5.75} \\ {1} & {1} & {1}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}{19100} & {} & {} \\ {133.25} & {} & \\ {37} & & \end{bmatrix}

r=12

l=15

e=10
