Ahmadullah's basketball team will play 21 games this season. That is 12 more games than 13 the number of games they played last season. How many games did they play last season
Let's assume the number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season is x.
According to the problem, Ahmadullah's team will play 12 more games than 13, i.e., 13 + 12 = 25 games this season.
Since the number of games last season is x, we have the equation x + 12 = 21.
Simplifying the equation gives us x = 21 - 12 = 9.
Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 9 games last season. Answer: \boxed{9}.
Let's set up an equation to solve for the number of games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season.
Let "x" represent the number of games they played last season.
According to the given information, the number of games they will play this season is 12 more than 13 times the number of games they played last season.
So, we have the equation:
21 = 13x + 12
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
21 - 12 = 13x + 12 - 12
9 = 13x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 13:
9/13 = 13x/13
x ≈ 0.692
Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played approximately 0.692 games last season.
To find out how many games Ahmadullah's basketball team played last season, we can subtract the given difference of 12 from the total number of games they will play this season.
Let's set up an equation to solve for the number of games last season:
Number of games this season = Number of games last season + Difference
Given:
Number of games this season = 21
Difference = 12
So, we can substitute these values into the equation:
21 = Number of games last season + 12
To isolate the variable, we need to move 12 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides:
21 - 12 = Number of games last season + 12 - 12
Simplifying:
9 = Number of games last season
Therefore, Ahmadullah's basketball team played 9 games last season.
