Answer:

Bob- 33, Larry- 21, Joe- 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation with x=the amount of time Larry spent studying. x+(x-12)+2(x-12)=96. Distribute and combine: 4x-36=96. Add 36 to both sides (4x=132), and then divide by 4 (x=33). Larry studied 33 minutes, subtract 12 to find Bob, and then double Bob's time to get Joe's study time.
