To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let's represent the number of games they played last season as "x".

According to the given information, Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 21 games this season, which is 12 more games than half the number of games they played last season.

Thus, the equation can be written as:
21 = (1/2)*x + 12

To solve this equation, we can solve for x:

Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation:
21 - 12 = (1/2)*x
9 = (1/2)*x

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x:
9*2 = x
18 = x

Therefore, they played 18 games last season.
no there is 11 or 33 or 27 or 7
