I think what you need to do is make B = -5
3a = -2(-5) - 7
3a = 10 - 7
3a = 3
a = 1

Check the picture below.

thus then

$\bf \begin{cases}
y=100-a\\
y=a\sqrt{3}
\end{cases}\implies 100-a=a\sqrt{3}\implies 100=a+a\sqrt{3}
\\\\\\
100=a(1+\sqrt{3})\implies \boxed{\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}=a}
\\\\\\
\textit{what is the altitude \underline{y} then?}\qquad y=100-a
\\\\\\
y=100-\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}\implies y\approx 63.39745962156~yards$

The distance between (-5, 3) and B(5, 3) is

8090 [49]

In here, we will use the distance formula
$\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

Compute the distance between (-5, 3) and (5, 3)
 $=\sqrt{\left(5-\left(-5\right)\right)^2+\left(3-3\right)^2}$

= 10

The distance between (-5, 3) and (5, 3) is 10
