Choice Ahoice C is the correct answer. We divide by the coefficient to isolate $x$.

1. Start with the equation: $6x = 48$
2. Divide both sides by 6: $x = \frac{48}{6}$
3. Simplify: $x = 8$
4. Verify: $6(8) = 48$ ✓

💡 Multiplication Tables: Knowing that $6 \times 8 = 48$ helps you solve this instantly.

Choice Ahoice D is incorrect because this results from subtracting: $48 - 6 = 42$. Subtraction is not the inverse of multiplication.

Choice Ahoice B is incorrect because this comes from adding: $48 + 6 = 54$. Addition doesn't undo multiplication.

Choice Ahoice C is incorrect because this results from multiplying: $48 \times 6 = 288$. This compounds the problem instead of solving it.
