Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of hits by baseball player in one season = 61

Number of hits in one game = $h$

To find:

The expression to represent the number of hits that the player got in the rest of the games = ?

Solution:

Number of hits that the player got in one game = $h$

Let the number of hits that the player got in rest of the games = $x$

As per the given question statement,

The sum of $h$ and $x$ will be equal to 61.

$h+x=61\\\Rightarrow \bold{x =61-h}$

Therefore, the player had $(61-h)$ hits in the rest of the games.
