<h3>What is Working backward?</h3>

Working backward is process in which calculation done in reverse direction.

let alison, beatrice and chole has x,y and z books initially,

alison gave beatrice and chole some books that doubled the number of books they had
alison, beatrice and chole has (96-2y-2z), (2y) , (2z)
chole gave alison and beatrice some books that doubled the number of books they had. each of them had 32 books at the end.

alison, beatrice and chole has 2(96-2y-2z), 2(2y) , (96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)

at the end,
beatrice = 32

4y=32

y = 8

chole =32

96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)=32
z=32

alison = 96-y-z

x=96-8-32
x=56

Thus the required alison, beatrice and chole each of them have at first 56, 8, 32 books.
