Sure! Let's solve this step-by-step.
### Step 1: Determine the number of boxes of carrots left
Lin initially took 75 boxes of carrots to the market and sold 68 boxes of carrots.
To find out how many boxes of carrots are left:
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining boxes of carrots} = \text{Initial boxes of carrots} - \text{Boxes of carrots sold} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining boxes of carrots} = 75 - 68 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining boxes of carrots} = 7 \][/tex]
### Step 2: Determine the number of boxes of potatoes left
Lin initially took 80 boxes of potatoes to the market and sold 71 boxes of potatoes.
To find out how many boxes of potatoes are left:
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining boxes of potatoes} = \text{Initial boxes of potatoes} - \text{Boxes of potatoes sold} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining boxes of potatoes} = 80 - 71 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Remaining boxes of potatoes} = 9 \][/tex]
### Step 3: Determine the total number of boxes of vegetables left
To find out the total number of boxes of vegetables (carrots and potatoes) left, we sum the remaining boxes of carrots and the remaining boxes of potatoes:
[tex]\[ \text{Total remaining boxes} = \text{Remaining boxes of carrots} + \text{Remaining boxes of potatoes} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total remaining boxes} = 7 + 9 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total remaining boxes} = 16 \][/tex]
### Summary
- How many boxes of carrots are left? [tex]\( \boxed{7} \)[/tex]
- How many boxes of potatoes are left? [tex]\( \boxed{9} \)[/tex]
- How many boxes altogether are left? [tex]\( \boxed{16} \)[/tex]
