Let's solve the problem step by step:

Let's say the number of games they played last season is "x".
According to the problem, Ahmadullah's team will play 12 more games than 1/3 the number of games they played last season.
So, the number of games they will play this season is (1/3)*x + 12.

According to the problem, the number of games they will play this season is 21.
So we have the equation:
(1/3)*x + 12 = 21

To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side.
Subtracting 12 from both sides gives us:
(1/3)*x = 9

To isolate x, we need to multiply both sides by 3:
x = 9 * 3

x = 27

Therefore, Ahmadullah's team played 27 games last season.
Answer: 27 games

Let's solve the problem step-by-step:

Step 1: Set up the equation using the information given.
The number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team will play this season is 21.
The number of games they played last season is represented by x.
We are told that 21 is 12 more than one-third of the number of games they played last season.

Step 2: Translate the given information into an equation.
The equation can be written as:
21 = (1/3)x + 12

Step 3: Solve the equation for x.
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
21 - 12 = (1/3)x
9 = (1/3)x

To isolate x, multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * 9 = 3 * (1/3)x
27 = x

Step 4: Interpret the result.
The team played 27 games last season.

So, the correct answer is 27 games.

Answer 3

Let's break down the information given in the problem to find the solution.

We know that Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 21 games this season.

It is mentioned that this number is 12 more games than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season.

Let's denote the number of games they played last season as "x".

According to the problem, the equation would be:

21 = (1/3)x + 12

To solve this equation, we need to isolate "x" on one side.

First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

21 - 12 = (1/3)x

Simplifying:

9 = (1/3)x

Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:

9 * 3 = (1/3)x * 3

Which simplifies to:

27 = x

So, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 27 games last season.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 27 games.
