I added a filter to an incoming email and it said "Apply to 79 other messages". I didn't see where these other messages existed. After applying the label, I now see these messages in that label.
I am trying to figure out why these emails didn't show up in my inbox. Is there anyway to see where these came from and how to have them show up in my inbox?

If those emails weren't in your Inbox then they must have previously been archived. (Archiving simply removes the "Inbox" label.)
Archived emails are still available under "All Mail" (label/option on the left). However, the "All Mail" option is not shown by default. To show it, go to Settings > Labels ... System Labels > All Mail > show.
