Independent/Dependent Events. Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event. If and are independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of the probabilities of the individual events.
Answer: D) No; If x is 5, the expression on the left simplifies to 8, making the inequality false.
In other words, if x = 5, then x+3 becomes 5+3 which ultimately becomes 8, but this is not greater than 8 on the right side.
Your steps could look like this
x+3 > 8
5+3 > 8 ... replace x with 5
8 > 8 ... this is a false inequality
