According to my sol
32+x=70
x=38
as age is also increasing with the increasing number of years we can't count the years twice 38/2=19
year of retirement will be 1986+19=2005
Any other explanation!

Your solution is perfect. One can also do:
She must gain at least 70 points, now she has 32 and every year gives her two more points: one for age and one for additional year of employment, so 32 + 2*(# of years) = 70 --> (# of years) = 19 --> 1986+19=2005.
