Question 360383
I have been in my job for 1/4 of my life. I asked myself how long it would be until I had been in my job for 1/3 of my life. 
I don't know how to set this up. I have asked this question before and got the answer of 1/12. I don't think this is correct because it is not taking into account the time added to your life. 
EX: been working for 6 out of 24 total years. 1/12 of 24 is 2, and 8/24 is 1/3 but in the problem we need to add the 1/12 to your age also. 8/26 is not 1/3. Could someone please help me and explain how to set this problem up so that the years of work and your age increase by the same amount.
--------------
j = years at job
a = age
-------
j/a = 1/4
(j+x)/(a+x) = 1/3
---------
a = 4j
(j+x)/(4j+x) = 1/3
3(j+x) = 4j+x
3j+3x = 4j+x
2x = j
x = j/2
--------
For your example j = 6, x = 3
6/24 = 1/4
9/27 = 1/3
