To solve the equation $-6x = 48$ for $x$, you should divide both sides of the equation by $-6$. This will isolate $x$ on one side of the equation. So, the operation you need to perform is: $$ \frac{-6x}{-6} = \frac{48}{-6} $$ This simplifies to: $$ x = -8 $$ Thus, dividing both sides by $-6$ is the correct step to take.
