Let x = the number of Megadose Supras, y = the number of Crazy Caps, and z = the number of D-Free Acs you should take.

The given data can be set up in a table as follows:

Megadose Supras

Crazy Caps
(y)
D-Free Acs
(z)
Total Required
Vitamin C 50 100 50 350
Vitamin A 1,000 200 500 4,200
Vitamin D 100 100 0 400

This gives the following system of linear equations
