Solve the following real-world problem: Ahmadullah’s basketball team will play 21 games this season. That is 12 games more than 13

the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season?

1 answer

Let \( x \) represent the number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season. According to the problem, this season they will play 21 games, which is 12 games more than last season. This can be expressed in the equation:

\[ x + 12 = 21 \]

To find \( x \), we can solve the equation:

  1. Subtract 12 from both sides:

\[ x = 21 - 12 \]

  1. Simplify:

\[ x = 9 \]

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