To find out how many games Ahmadullah’s basketball team played last season, we can set up the following equation based on the information given:

Let \( x \) be the number of games played last season. According to the problem:

\[ x + 12 = 21 \]

Now, we can solve for \( x \):

  1. Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

\[ x = 21 - 12 \]

  1. This simplifies to:

\[ x = 9 \]

So, Ahmadullah’s basketball team played 9 games last season. However, this answer is not among the given options. Let's double-check the options provided:

  • 11 games
  • 27 games
  • 7 games
  • 33 games

None of these options seem to match our calculated answer of 9 games. Therefore, it looks like there may be an error in the problem statement or in the provided responses. Based on the information given, the correct answer is that they played 9 games last season.
