Answer:
A = 286 episodes
B = 284 episodes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = the
of show B
n + 2 = the
of show A
Therefore, according to the question,
The sum of the number of the episodes of each show are consecutive even integers = 570
Therefore,
n + n + 2 = 570
2n + 2 = 570
2n = 568
n = 284
Therefore, the number of episodes for B = 284
The number of episodes for A = n + 2 = 284 + 2
= 286
