Let's solve the equation step by step.

The original equation is:

\[ 9x - 6 = 12. \]

Madonna adds 6 to both sides:

\[ 9x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6, \]

which simplifies to:

\[ 9x = 18. \]

To isolate \(x\), the next step is to divide both sides of the equation by 9. Thus, each side needs to be divided by **9**.

So, the value by which each side needs to be divided is **9**.
