You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +n+ = the number of episodes of show B
+n+%2B+2+ = the number of episodes of show A
------------------
+n+%2B+n+%2B+2+=+454+
+2n+=+452+
+n+=+226+
and
+n+%2B+2++=+228+
-----------------
There are 228 episodes of show A
There are 226 episodes of show B
check:
+226+%2B+228+=+454+
OK
