Let's represent the number of games played last season as "x". According to the problem, Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 12 more games than 1/3 of x.
So, we have the equation: 1/3x + 12 = 21
To solve for x, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
1/3x = 9
Then, multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x:
x = 9 * 3 = 27
Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 27 games last season.
Solve the following real-world problem: Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 21 games this season. That is 12 more games than 1/3
the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season?(1 point)
