_____
In case you cannot write down this answer right away, you can figure it this way. Let r represent the hits the player got in the rest of the games. Then the player's total of hits for the season was ...
r + h = 71
Subtracting h from both sides of this equation tells us what r was:
r +h -h = 71 -h
r = 71 -h . . . . . . . hits in the rest of the games
The player had 71 -h hits in the rest of the season.
