    245 miles driven.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A car rental company charges $10 a day and 17 cents per mile to rent their cars. 17 cents = 0.17 dollars

    Let x be the number of miles and y be the number of days

    total change = 0.17x + 10y

    Given total change is 61.65 and number of days = 2

    plug in the values and find out the number of miles

    61.65 = 0.17 x + 2 (10)

    61.65 = 0.17 x + 20

    subtract 20 on both sides

    41.65 = 0.17x

    Divide by 0.17 on both sides

    x = 245

    245 miles driven.
