The nearest year in the future which is the square of an integer is 2025. So Jim was born in 1980 and will turn 45 in 2025 = 45^2. In his case, x = 45. The next generation which will be able to boast this will only be born in 2070, and turn 46 in the year 2116 (i.e., x = 46). August de Morgan was born in 1806 and turned 43 in 1849 = 43^2. So for him x = 43.
