In version 11.3 we have MultiplySides:

MultiplySides[x/3 == 7, 3]

In earlier version you can Map the multiplication:

Map[3 # &, x/3 == 7]

MultiplySides[a == b, c]

$\begin{array}{cc} \{ & \begin{array}{cc} a c=b c & c\neq 0 \\ a=b & \text{True} \\ \end{array} \\ \end{array}$

MultiplySides[a == b, c, GenerateConditions -> False]

$a c=b c$
