Normalize your LookAt vector if it isn't already normalized. Multiply it by the desired distance. Add it to the current position.

If I may add my two cents, there are incredibly many books on vector graphics and matrices in general. Look into books mentioning Linear Algebra. You could also browse wikipedia and look for the information more directly.

Up to some point, it will be useful to know how things work mathematically. There is no big secret to your original question, the answer lies in vector addition and vector multiplication. These are the first principles you should look into, with books or without :)
