Here's the Solution to this Question

First die


\def\arraystretch{1.5} \begin{array}{c:c} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6\\ \hline p(x) & 1/7 & 1/7 & 1/7 & 2/7 & 1/7 & 1/7\\ \end{array}

Second die


\def\arraystretch{1.5} \begin{array}{c:c} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6\\ \hline p(x) & 1/7 & 1/7 & 2/7 & 1/7 & 1/7 & 1/7\\ \end{array}

1+6=2+5=3+4=4+3=5+2=6+1

P(sum=7)=\dfrac{1}{7}(\dfrac{1}{7})+\dfrac{1}{7}(\dfrac{1}{7})+\dfrac{1}{7}(\dfrac{1}{7})

+\dfrac{2}{7}(\dfrac{2}{7})+\dfrac{1}{7}(\dfrac{1}{7})+\dfrac{1}{7}(\dfrac{1}{7})=\dfrac{9}{49}
