A general understanding of the statements we're dealing with is a good thing:
The first statement is telling: given any real number $\epsilon$ between zero and one, we can find (that's the core of the statement) a natural number $N$ so that the distance $|x_{n\geq N} - a|$ between the sequence's elements $x_{n\geq N}$ starting at $n=N$ and the limit $a$ oft the sequence $x_n$ is smaller than the double of the given real number $\epsilon$.
The second statement is telling: given any real number $\epsilon_1$ greater than zero, we can find a natural number $N$ so that the distance $|x_{n\geq N} - a|$ between the sequence's elements $x_{n\geq N}$ starting at $n=N$ and the limit $a$ of the sequence $x_n$ is smaller than the given real number $\epsilon_1$.
What needs to be done in general
If you want to prove the equivalence, then:
(a) assume that the first statement is true and prove the second statement
(b) assume the second statement is true and prove the first statement.
The (a) direction or the $\implies$ direction
(a) assume for any given $0<\epsilon<1$ we can find a natural number $N_0$ so that $|x_{n\geq N_0} - a|<2\epsilon$, that is assume the first statement is true. To prove the second statement, we need to find a number $N_1$ for any given $\epsilon_1 >0$, so that $|x_{n\geq N_1} - a|<\epsilon_1$.
First we prove the following implication
$\forall\epsilon \in (0,1),\exists N_0 \in \mathrm{N^+},|x_{n\ge N_0}-a|\le 2\epsilon \implies \forall\epsilon_1>0,\exists N_1 \in \mathrm{N^+},|x_{n\ge N_1}-a|<\epsilon_1$
What is the premise? What is the assumption?
Assume we can find a number $N_0$ so that the condition or the inequality $|x_{n\geq N_0} - a|<2\epsilon$ is true for any given $0<\epsilon<1$.
What is the conclusion or entailment?
The task is to find or show that we can find a number $N_1$ so that the inequality or the condition $|x_{n\geq N_1} - a|<\epsilon_1$ is true for any given $\epsilon_1 > 0$.
How do we mathematicize or how do we use the assumption to get to the conclusion?
Now if we're given an $0<\epsilon_1^x<2$, then it follows directly from the assumption, that $|x_{n\geq N_1^x} - a|<\epsilon_1^x$ and we can find an $N_1^x$ (in this particular case of $0<\epsilon_1^x<2$ we can just choose or set $N_1^x=N_0$) so that the condition $|x_{n\geq N_1^x} - a|<\epsilon_1^x$ for any given $0<\epsilon_1^x<2$ is satisfied.
In the case we're given any $\epsilon_1^y \geq 2$ and asked to find an $N_1^y$ so that $|x_{n\geq N_1^y} - a|<\epsilon_1^y$ is true, we note that $|x_{n\geq N_1^y} - a|<\epsilon_1^x<\epsilon_1^y$. This shows that we can find such an $N_1^y$ that makes $|x_{n\geq N_1^y} - a|<\epsilon_1^y$ a true condition.
With being able to find a number $N_1^x$ so that $|x_{n\geq N_1^x} - a|<\epsilon_1^x$ is true and a number $N_1^y$ so that $|x_{n\geq N_1^y} - a|<\epsilon_1^y$ is also true for any given $0<\epsilon_1^x<2$ and for any given $\epsilon_1^y \geq 2$, we have proved now that we can find an $N_1$ so that $|x_{n\geq N_1} - a|<\epsilon_1$ is true for any given $\epsilon_1>0$.
The (b) direction or the $\impliedby$ direction
(b) assume the second statement is true and imply the first statement. Prove the following implication:
$\forall\epsilon \in (0,1),\exists N_0 \in \mathrm{N^+},|x_{n\ge N_0}-a|\le 2\epsilon \impliedby \forall\epsilon_1>0,\exists N_1 \in \mathrm{N^+},|x_{n\ge N_1}-a|<\epsilon_1$
If $\forall\epsilon_1>0,\exists N_1 \in \mathrm{N^+},|x_{n\ge N_1}-a|<\epsilon_1$, then clearly $\forall\epsilon \in (0,1),\exists N_0 \in \mathrm{N^+},|x_{n\ge N_0}-a|\le 2\epsilon$, because $2\epsilon > 0$.
After $\implies$ and $\impliedby$, then you have shown the equivalence $\iff$, because showing that $(A \implies B)$ and showing $ (A \impliedby B)$ for two statements $A$ and $B$ is equivalent to saying that $A \iff B$.
