To solve the inequality \( 6 + 3x \leq 24 \), La'Shondra begins by subtracting 6 from both sides:

\[
6 + 3x - 6 \leq 24 - 6
\]
which simplifies to:

\[
3x \leq 18
\]

Next, she needs to isolate \( x \) by dividing both sides of the inequality. The number she divides by is 3.

So, the answer is **3**.
