I went over this in my head a thousand times, but I am never good at these prove statements. Maybe someone out there can help me understand this better?View attachment Mathmatical problem.pdf

We can help - we only help after you have shown your work - or ask a specific question (not a statement like "Don't know any of these")
Please share your work with us indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we may know where to begin to help you.
Sorry that I forgot to show my work.
Okay, I think I understand the theory, and this is how I got to it. if this is wrong please help me to understand.
given that Line KT is a transversal that intersects lines J and E at a perpendicular angle, angles JKL and ETV are right angles. Because they are interior angles on the same side, angles JKL and ETV are supplementary as well as congruent. Therefore, angles JKL and ETV are congruent. Line KL is congruent with VT therefore they are the same length. Angles 1 and 2 are both interior angles on the same side, and thus are supplementary to each other.
Therefore triangle JKL is congruent with triangle ETV

Are you supposed to show your proof in two-column format?
Otherwise your line of thought is correct.
