To solve that question we must remember that the sum of all internal angles of a triangle is 180°, we can say that


\angle X+\angle Y+\angle Z=180

That's a rule! it's always true.

The problem says that


\angle X+\angle Y=55

Then let's use it in our equation!


\begin{gathered} \operatorname{\angle}X+\operatorname{\angle}Y+\operatorname{\angle}Z=180 \\ \\ 55+\operatorname{\angle}Z=180 \end{gathered}

Now we can solve it for Z


\begin{gathered} 55+\angle Z=180 \\ \\ \angle Z=180-55 \\ \\ \angle Z=125° \end{gathered}

Therefore the measure of Z is 125°
