    -25 - 12x = - (-8x - 6) - 3 (5x + 12)

    Distributive property.

    -25 - 12x = 8x + 6 - 15x - 36

    Combine like terms.

    -25 - 12x = - 7x - 30

    Add 12x to both sides.

    -25 = 5x - 30

    Add 30 to both sides.

    5 = 5x

    Divide both sides by 5.

    x = 1

    The x-intersect is 1.
