Let's represent the number of games played last season as "x". According to the problem, Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 12 more games than 1/3 of x.
So, we have the equation: 1/3x + 12 = 21
To solve for x, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
1/3x = 9
Then, multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x:
x = 9 * 3 = 27
Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 27 games last season.
To solve this problem, let's set up an equation.
Let's call the number of games played last season "x."
According to the problem, Ahmadullah's team will play 21 games this season, which is 12 more games than 1/3 of the number of games they played last season.
Expressing this mathematically, we have:
21 = (1/3)x + 12
To solve for x, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
21 - 12 = (1/3)x
9 = (1/3)x
Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x:
3 * 9 = 3 * (1/3)x
27 = x
So they played 27 games last season.
To solve this real-world problem, we need to find out how many games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season.
We are given that they will play 21 games this season, which is 12 more games than 1/3 times the number of games they played last season.
Let's represent the number of games they played last season as "x".
According to the problem, we can set up the following equation:
21 = (1/3)x + 12
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, we can subtract 12 from both sides:
21 - 12 = (1/3)x
9 = (1/3)x
Now, we can multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the 1/3 fraction:
3 * 9 = 3 * (1/3)x
27 = x
So, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 27 games last season.
