The truth value of an equation does not change, when we multiply both sides of the equation by the same value.

For example

3=3

The truth value is True

Then, multiplying both sides by 2, gives

2(3)=2(3)

$\Rightarrow 6=6$

This statement is still True.

This property of real numbers is called the Multiplication property of equality.
