If you’re solving for x, it’s x= 17/2 - y
If you’re solving for y, it’s y= 17/2 - x
Attached the solution and work.
The probability is 1/1024.
Each tetrahedron has a 1/4 chance of landing on 3, since there are 4 sides and only one of them is marked 3.
Each tetrahedron roll is independent, since no roll is affected by another.
This means we multiply the probabilities:
1/4(1/4)(1/4)(1/4)(1/4) = 1/1024
