Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
a=age
500 reduced by 2 times a is equal to 388
500-2a=388
minus 500 both sides
-2a=-112
divide both sides by -2
a=56
you are 56

Possible number combinations are 1,1 2,1 3,1 4,1 5,1 6,1 1,2 2,2 3,2 4,2 5,2 6,2 1,3 2,3 3,3 4,3 5,3 6,3 1,4 2,4 3,4 4,4 5,4 6,4 1,5 2,5 3,5 4,5 5,5 6,5 1,6 2,6 3,6 4,6 5,6 and 6,6. of those 36 number combinations the ones that add up to more than 10 include: 4,6 5,5 5,6 6,4 6,5 6,6. thats 6 number combinations. 6/36 of the possible sums of the top faces equal out to 10 or more. 6/36=1/6=0.166666666666666666666666(repeating) and to put that in a percentage, 16.7%
the probability is 16.7%
Hope this helps.
