To solve the equation [tex]\( L = m + f \)[/tex] for the number of female puppies, [tex]\( f \)[/tex], we'll follow these steps:

1. Start with the given equation:
[tex]\[ L = m + f \][/tex]

2. Isolate [tex]\( f \)[/tex]: To isolate [tex]\( f \)[/tex], we need to move [tex]\( m \)[/tex] to the other side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting [tex]\( m \)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[ L - m = f \][/tex]

3. Rewrite the equation: Now we have the equation solved for [tex]\( f \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ f = L - m \][/tex]

Therefore, the variable that belongs in the green box is:
[tex]\[ f = L - m \][/tex]

So the solution to the equation [tex]\( L = m + f \)[/tex] for solving for [tex]\( f \)[/tex] is:
\[
f = L - m
