XXL is a clothing size, not a number.

You've probably transposed it from LXX, which is 50 + 10 + 10 = 70.

If it were a number, it would be XX = 20 before (therefore subtracted from) V, which is 50, making 30.

As XXX is commonly understood to be 30, then there's no advantage in less numerals used with XXL - so it is kept purely for sizing clothes.

Ah, what a happy little question! XXL in Roman numerals is 40. You see, X represents 10, so when we have two Xs together, that's 10 + 10 which equals 20. And when we add another X, we get 10 more, making it a total of 40. Just a beautiful way to express numbers, don't you think?

Incorrect

The Roman numeral that represents XXL is 40. In Roman numerals, X represents 10, and L represents 50. When a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, it is subtracted from the larger numeral. In this case, 50 (L) minus 10 (X) equals 40, which is represented by XL.

Oh, dude, XXL in Roman numerals is actually 40. Yeah, I know, it seems like it should be extra, extra large, but in the ancient Roman world, they had a different way of counting. So, next time you see XXL on a shirt, just remember you're actually wearing a 40. Mind blown, right?
