Let's assume the number of games they played last season is "x".
According to the problem, Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 12 more games than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season.
So, the number of games they will play this season is: 1/3 * x + 12
Since they will play 21 games this season, we can set up the following equation: 1/3 * x + 12 = 21
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation: 1/3 * x = 9
To get rid of the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3: 3 * (1/3 * x) = 3 * 9
This simplifies to: x = 27
Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 27 games last season.
Solve the following real workd problem:
Ahmadullahs 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?
