Separate $89 into two parts so that the second part is $4 less than twice the first part.

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the 1st part be \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then 2nd part is \"2x-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "1st + 2nd = 89
\n" ); document.write( "x+2x-4=89
\n" ); document.write( "3x-4=89
\n" ); document.write( "3x=93
\n" ); document.write( "x=31 (This is the \"1st part\")
\n" ); document.write( "2x-4=62-58 (This is the \"2nd part\")
