Answer: 60 - 10

Explanation:

There are 5 commercial breaks with each of the breaks lasting 2 minutes.

Commercial breaks in total therefore last:

= 5 * 2

= 10 minutes.

The program is a 60 minute program so to find the amount of time the program lasts without the commercials, the expression is:

= 60 - 10

It lasts 50 minutes without commercials.
