Step 1
The highest number on a single "die" is 6.
Since we want to get a total of 10 on the roll, we need to subtract from 10 every value possible on a single "die".
Step 2
10 - 6 = 4 Combination 6 and 4.
10 - 5 = 5 Combination 5 and 5.
10 - 4 = 6 Combination 4 and 6.
Once we reach 10 - 3 = 7
Realize that 7 is not a number that we have. We can't roll a combination of 3 and 7. Therefore, we have reached all of our possibilities.
3 Possibilities.
