Final answer:
The question's context and required elements for a step-by-step solution are missing in the provided information, preventing an accurate answer on how to find the values of x and y that make k parallel to j.
Step-by-step explanation:
The provided information is fragmented, and it does not directly relate to the question about finding the values of x and y that make line k parallel to line j, nor does it mention anything about a value ml equal to 72. The snippets of information appear to be from different mathematics problems and do not offer a clear pathway to solve the original question regarding parallel lines and the length of ml. Therefore, without additional context or information, it is not possible to provide a step-by-step explanation or an accurate solution to the student's question.
