Let's represent the number of games played last season as "x".
According to the problem, the number of games played this season is 21, which is 12 more than 1/3 of the number of games played last season.
We can set up an equation to solve for "x":
21 = (1/3)x + 12
To isolate "x", we subtract 12 from both sides:
21 - 12 = (1/3)x
9 = (1/3)x
To solve for "x", we multiply both sides by 3:
3 * 9 = x
27 = x
Therefore, the basketball team played 27 games last season.
