Answer: A, B and D are true statements.

Explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. It means that

7x + 2 + 8x + 4x + 7 = 180

Collecting like terms, it becomes

7x + 8x +4x + 2 + 7 = 180

19x + 9 = 180

Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation, it becomes

19x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9

19x = 171

Dividing both sides of the equation by 19, it becomes

19x/19 = 171/19

x = 9

Angle J = 7 × 9 + 2 = 65 degrees

Angle K = 8x = 8 × 9 = 72 degrees

Angle L = 4x + 7 = 4 × 9 + 7 = 43 degrees

Therefore, A, B and D are true statements.
