You can put this solution on YOUR website! Separate 89 into two parts so that the first part is less than twice the second part find the value of each part.
--------
x + y = 89
x < 2y
-----------------
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y"::
89-y < 2y
89 < 3y
y > 27 2/3
------------
x < 89-(27 2/3) = 61 1/3
