How do I change the opacity of an image when I hover of my text?

I am new to HTML and CSS and I have my own website. The problem is that I don't know how to change the opacity when I hover over my text. I want it to become lighter if I'm hovering over my text in the menu on the right. Right now It's only changing when I hover over the image itself, the text changes too, but I want it to both change at the same time and on the same object, so I hover over the text; text changes and images opacity changes.

Here is my code:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:100);
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300);
* {
	-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /* Safari/Chrome, other WebKit */
	-moz-box-sizing: border-box;    /* Firefox, other Gecko */
	box-sizing: border-box;
}
html, body {
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
	background-image: url(lucafraserProject/images/backgroundImage.png);
	background-repeat: repeat;
}
#container {
	width: 100%;
	height: 1000px;
}
#header {
	width: 100%;
	height: 200px;

Try to this code...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
img {
    opacity: 0.4;
    filter: alpha(opacity=40); /* For IE8 and earlier */
}

img:hover {
opacity: 1.0;
filter: alpha(opacity=100); /* For IE8 and earlier */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Image Transparency</h1>
<img src="klematis.jpg" width="150" height="113" alt="klematis">
<img src="klematis2.jpg" width="150" height="113" alt="klematis">

<p><b>Note:</b> In IE, a !DOCTYPE must be added for 
the :hover selector to work on other elements than the a element.</p>
</body>
</html>

add this CSS:

#menuRechts li:hover {
opacity: 0.5;

}

and remove the .pic:hover code. This will make the entire LI element fade out, since it contains both the image and the text, theres no need to do both things separately.

It should go like this parent:hover child {opacity:0.3;}

here is the code example.

As you mentioned you know html and css please add class on links parent i.e ul see below example 

<ul class="side-links">

then use below css in style file

you can always make us of css pseudo classes

img:hover{

 opacity : 0.5;
}

this will decrease the opacity of every image by 50% , you can use any html element,css class or id instead of img

you can give any value between 0-1 1 being total visible and 0 being totally transparent

Instead of applying the hover effect when you hover over the a or the .pic apply it when you hover over their containing li element.

#menuRechts li:hover .pic{
    opacity:0.3
}
#menuRechts li:hover a{
    font-weight:bold;
}
