Yes, a single stud with (2) 2 3/4 to 3 1/4" lag bolts will hold a TV 4x that weight.
Most articulating brackets for TVs that small (under 50") are mounted to a single stud with 2 lags, and with the mount extended, the sheer weight on those lags is notably higher. And I've never had a problem.
Forget the add'l bracing/framing/ugly looking one-off to help you hit two studs.
If you did want more assurance, there are toggle bolts and mollies that are rated for 100lbs+. I'd still stick with the stud, and use them to augment. But you don't have to.
