Answer 1

To find out how many games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season, we can set up the equation based on the information provided.

Let \( x \) be the number of games played last season. According to the problem, this season they are playing 21 games, which is 12 games more than the number of games they played last season. So we can write the equation:

\[ 21 = x + 12 \]

Now, we can solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract 12 from both sides:

\[ 21 - 12 = x \] \[ 9 = x \]

This means the team played 9 games last season.

However, looking at your provided responses, 9 games is not listed among the options. Could you please double-check the options or clarify if there's any more information available?

Answer 2

CHOOSE FROM THE OPTIONS I GAVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Apologies for the oversight. Let's examine the options based on the information given.

We established that:

\[ 21 = x + 12 \]

which simplifies to:

\[ x = 21 - 12 \] \[ x = 9 \]

Now, the options you provided were:

• 33 games
• 11 games
• 7 games
• 27 games

None of these options includes 9 games. However, if we interpret the problem differently or check if there was a misunderstanding in the condition, we might identify if one of these numbers represents something else.

If we're looking for the closest option based on the calculation of how many more games they played last season considering the 12 games more than last season that led to 21, the answer is indeed still 9.

It seems none of the given choices directly matches the solved answer. If you meant 9 is a different integer value or we're looking at a different expression considered in the choices at hand, could you clarify? Otherwise, I can't select from those options without further context.
