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

The number of games they will play this season is 12 more than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season.

So we can write the equation:

21 = (1/3)x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides:

9 = (1/3)x

Multiply both sides by 3:

27 = x

Therefore, they played 27 games last season.

To solve this problem, we need to find the number of games the team played last season.

Let's set up an equation:

Let x be the number of games played last season.

According to the problem, 21 games this season is 12 more than 1/3 of the number of games played last season.

So we have the equation:
21 = (1/3)x + 12

To solve for x, we can subtract 12 from both sides:
21 - 12 = (1/3)x

Simplifying,
9 = (1/3)x

To isolate x, we can multiply both sides by 3:
3 * 9 = 3 * (1/3) * x

27 = x

Therefore, they played 27 games last season.

To solve this problem, we'll set up an equation to represent the information given. Let's define the number of games played last season as variable x.

According to the problem, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 12 more games than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season. So we have the equation:

21 = x/3 + 12

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

21 - 12 = x/3

Next, we'll simplify the equation:

9 = x/3

To isolate x, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

9 * 3 = x

The result is:

27 = x

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