Answer 1

Let's represent the number of games played last season as "x". According to the problem, Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 12 more games than 1/3 of x.

So, we have the equation: 1/3x + 12 = 21

To solve for x, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

1/3x = 9

Then, multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x:

x = 9 * 3 = 27

Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 27 games last season.
