I think its the 1st one, but I'm not sure
Answer:
k=42.5573 and x=0.015699
Step-by-step explanation:
Step: Solve k=35.5x+42for k:
k=35.5x+42
Step: Substitute 35.5x+42 for k in k=991x+27:
k=991x+27
35.5x+42=991x+27
35.5x+42+−991x=991x+27+−991x(Add -991x to both sides)
−955.5x+42=27
−955.5x+42+−42=27+−42(Add -42 to both sides)
−955.5x=−15
−955.5x
−955.5
=
−15
−955.5
(Divide both sides by -955.5)
x=0.015699
Step: Substitute0.015699 for x in k=35.5x+42:
k=35.5x+42
k=(35.5)(0.015699)+42
k=42.5573(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Hope this helps!

Answer:
I agree that this question can be confusing:
Apparently point A and point B must be on the same straight line (measured from the light house or the question would be nonsensical)
tan 13 = H / DA where H is height of lighthouse
tan 8 = H / DB tangent measured from point B
tan 13 / tan 8 = DB / DA
DB = .2309 / .1405 * 1279 = 2101 ft
DB - DA = 2101 - 1279 = 822.0 ft
