If we take both sides of the equation $\frac{1}{3} x=5$ and <em>multiply either expression by 3</em>, the equality becomes

$3\cdot\frac{1}{3}x=3\cdot5\\x=15$

Multiplication of both sides of an equality by the same number keeps the equality true, and we call this property the multiplication property of equality.
