document.write( "The number of vendors who sell EITHER carrots OR tomatoes is  6 + 13 - 3 = 16.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    I subtracted 3 from the sum of 6 + 13, because those who cell both carrots and tomatoes were counted twice in this sum.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence,  the number of vendors who sell NEITHER carrots NOR tomatoes is  29 - 16 = 13.\r\n" );
