We can use a variable equation to solve this. Let A represent alan's age, B represent bob's age, and C represent Cindy's age. So Bob's age would be Alan's age - 5, or a -5 = B. Then Bob's age would be double Cindy's age, so that means 2 multiplied by Cindy's age = Bob's age, or 2C = B. Your two equations are:
A - 5 = B
2C = B
Also a third equation that helps is A + B + C = 20.
Finally, here are the ages.
Alan = 11 years old
Bob = 6 years old
Cindy = 3 years old.
PS: Sorry, I'm not that good at explaining things, but here are the answers
Original Statement: If x = 3, then x^2 = 9 (true)
Converse: If x^2 = 9, then x = 3 (false; this is half the story and x = -3 must be included)
Since the converse isn't completely true, we can't combine the two statements to get a biconditional.
