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

Let's solve the problem step by step:

Let's assume the number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season is 'x'.

According to the problem, the team will play 21 games this season, which is 12 more than the number of games they played last season.

So, the equation is: x + 12 = 21

To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation.

Subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation, we get: x + 12 - 12 = 21 - 12
Simplifying, x = 9

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