To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let's represent the number of games they played last season as "x".

Based on the information given, we know that Ahmadullah's basketball team played 12 more games this season than the number of games they played last season. So, the equation is:

x + 12 = 21

To solve the equation, we need to isolate x. Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation, we get:

x = 21 - 12 = 9

Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 9 games last season.
