Here is what i got, seems to be working. 

let name = prompt("What is your name?");
let age = prompt("What is your age?");

const secondsPerMin = 60;
const minutesPerHour = 60;
const hoursPerDay = 24;
const daysPerYear = 365;
const eightyFiveYears = 2680560000;
const secondsAlive = secondsPerMin * minutesPerHour * hoursPerDay * daysPerYear * parseInt(age);
let secondsTo85 = eightyFiveYears - secondsAlive;

alert(`Hello my name is ${name}, i have been alive for ${secondsAlive} seconds and i have ${secondsTo85} seconds remaining to reach 85 years old!`);
