Let's solve the problem step by step:
Let's say the number of games they played last season is "x".
According to the problem, Ahmadullah's team will play 12 more games than 1/3 the number of games they played last season.
So, the number of games they will play this season is (1/3)*x + 12.
According to the problem, the number of games they will play this season is 21.
So we have the equation:
(1/3)*x + 12 = 21
To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side.
Subtracting 12 from both sides gives us:
(1/3)*x = 9
To isolate x, we need to multiply both sides by 3:
x = 9 * 3
x = 27
Therefore, Ahmadullah's team played 27 games last season.
