    xlv is 45 because xl actually means 10 before 50 which is 40 and not 10 plus 50. and v is 5

    X=10 L=50 V=5 But because the X is first before the 50 and equals TEN you have to take 10 away and add 5 for the V for a Total of 45

    X=10 L=50 V=5

    because X comes before L its means 40 and just add the 5 so it is 45
