Graph each line to see where they cross. The three points of intersection are
(0,4)
(2,-2)
(4,2)

You could also form three systems of equations pairing up the equations, and solving each system. That way you can find the points of intersection. Graphing may be a better and faster route in my opinion. See the diagram below.
The height of the fence is irrelevant. The bottom of the ladder is 3+8 = 11 feet from the building. The window is 14ft above the ground:
sqrt(14^2+11^2) = length of your ladder.
sqrt(14^2+11^2) = length of your ladder.
