Hi guys, if I have the following 4 substances, and if C and D are
converted into E, when the system reaches equilibrium, what has
happened to the amount to A in the system?
A <--> C + D <--> E
Thanks for the help in advance!!!

You have two simultaneous equilibria to account for:
c+d <-> E and A <-> C (or whatever that reaction is).
There will be a specific concentration of A present.
In fact, the presence of the reaction involving A will influence the
concentration of E at equilibrium.
