Yes, it is true for all whole numbers (integers). It is not true for non integers.

It is better to think of multiplying by 10 as moving the decimal point 1 place to the right.

So, 3 * 10 = 30 (We can think of 3 as actually being 3.0, so by moving our decimal point one place to the right we get 30).

Likewise 3.5 * 10 = 35 (Here the rule of adding a 0 does not work as 3.5 isn't a whole number, but moving the decimal point one place to the right always works).
