Explanation:

the sum of all angles around a single point on one side of a line is always 180°.

because that line can be seen as an extended diameter of a circle (which cuts the circle into 2 half-circles), with the given point being the center of the circle. then one side of the line is one of these half-circles, and a half-circle stand for 180°.

in our case the line is KM, the point is B.

we have on the upper side of KM 2 angles that together cover the complete side (without overlapping). so, together they must be 180° (supplementary angles).

and so we have

180 = (y + 10) + 125

55 = y + 10

y = 45

therefore,

angle KBC = y + 10 = 45 + 10 = 55°
