To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let x be the number of games they played last season. According to the problem, Ahmadullah's team played 12 more games this season than the number of games they played last season. So, the equation is:

x + 12 = 21

To solve for x, we subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

x = 21 - 12

x = 9

Therefore, they played 9 games last season.

Apologies for the mistake in the response. Let's correct it:

If Ahmadullah's basketball team played 21 games this season, which is 12 games more than the number of games they played last season, we can set up an equation.

Let x be the number of games they played last season.

According to the problem, we know that:

x + 12 = 21

To solve for x, we subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

x = 21 - 12

x = 9

Therefore, they played 9 games last season.
