Solve the following real world problem at Dula's basketball team will play 21 games this season that is 12 games more than 1/3 the number of games they played last season how many games did they play last season is it seven games or 33 games 11 games or 27 games?
Let's assume the number of games they played last season is represented by the variable "x".
According to the problem, Dula's basketball team played 12 games more than 1/3rd of the number of games they played last season. Mathematically, we can write this as:
x/3 + 12 = 21
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable "x":
x/3 = 21 - 12
x/3 = 9
Next, we can solve for "x" by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 3 * 9
x = 27
Therefore, the team played 27 games last season.
