To solve the equation \(-3z - 15 = -8z + 5\), we will start by isolating the variable \(z\).

1. Add \(8z\) to both sides:

\[
-3z + 8z - 15 = 5
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
5z - 15 = 5
\]

2. Next, add \(15\) to both sides:

\[
5z - 15 + 15 = 5 + 15
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
5z = 20
\]

3. Now, divide both sides by \(5\):

\[
z = \frac{20}{5}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
z = 4
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{4}
\]
