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 point)

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to find the number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season.

Let's assume the number of games they played last season is x.

We are given the information that they will play 21 games this season, which is 12 games more than the number of games they played last season.

From the given information, we can write the following equation:

21 = x + 12

To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation, we get:

21 - 12 = x + 12 - 12

9 = x

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