For problem 2, another solution will be to notice that (x+42)^2<x^2+84x+2008<(x+45)^2, so x^2+84x+2008 must be (x+43)^2 or (x+44)^2. Check to see that the former does not work, so 2(2x+86)=244. This gives x=18. We need 2x+44 which is 80.

Very nice explanation! Just a trivial comment - for the 3rd question, since we only need to calculate x+y, when knowing x+y+42 = 122 is the only solution, we can directly get 80 from there.
