Okay, so this is just a bunch of random information that's eying to trick you. The answer is in the question. "the telephone pole to a point on the ground 40 feet from its base."
First of all, you would use the FOIL method for -5(a + 3). This means to just multiply -5 to all of the values in the parenthesis. This would equal:

Divide by -5 on both sides, you get a = 8.
