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

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

21 = x/3 + 12

To solve for x, we can start by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation:

21 - 12 = x/3

9 = x/3

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

3 * 9 = 3 * (x/3)

27 = x

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