Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
Let x be the number of games Ahmadullah’s basketball team played last season.
According to the problem, Ahmadullah’s team will play 21 games this season, which is 12 games more than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season. This can be written as:
21 = x/3 + 12
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
9 = x/3
Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x:
27 = x
Therefore, Ahmadullah’s basketball team played 27 games last season.
Solve the following real-world problem: Ahmadullah’s basketball team will play 21 games this season. That is 12 games more than 1/3 the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season?(1 point)
