Let \( x \) represent the number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season.
According to the problem, they will play 21 games this season, which is 12 games more than the number of games played last season.
We can set up the equation as follows:
\[ x + 12 = 21 \]
To find \( x \), we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
\[ x = 21 - 12 \] \[ x = 9 \]
Thus, the team played 9 games last season. Since this option is not among the possible responses provided, let's check the calculation again against the responses:
- 27 games
- 7 games
- 11 games
- 33 games
Given that my calculations show Ahmadullah's team played 9 games last season, and this value is not an option presented, it indicates a discrepancy in the problem's stated options.
Nonetheless, based on the arithmetic derived from the information provided:
The team played 9 games last season.
