Explanation:

since the two angles from a straight line, they make a linear pair and linear pairs are supplementery. by the angle addition postulate, you can determine that the two angles sum to 180. substituting the one angle mearsure that you are guven and using a bit of simple arithmetic and the subtraction property of equality, you can determine that the other angle,angle YXZ, is 45 degrees. I hope this is helpful
