To solve the equation \( 3(22 - 4) = 7 - (z + 5) \), we will follow these steps:

First, simplify the left side:

\[
3(22 - 4) = 3 \times 18 = 54
\]

Now, simplify the right side:

\[
7 - (z + 5) = 7 - z - 5 = 2 - z
\]

Now we have the equation:

\[
54 = 2 - z
\]

Next, isolate \( z \). First, subtract 2 from both sides:

\[
54 - 2 = -z
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
52 = -z
\]

Now, multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \( z \):

\[
z = -52
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
z = -52
\]
