One way to assign the variables is this:

Ana             n
Father        5n+n=6n
Alice          n/2

Another way, is to let Alice's age be the main variable:

Ana            2c
Father        5*2c+2c=12c
Alice           c

-----------------------------------------------------
In two years time, the sum of their ages will be 58.

----------In this case, maybe recheck the work, OR recheck your original problem statement very carefully.
