Let's call the vertex where the rays originate V.
Then angle 1 would also be angle WVK.
The supplementary angles are 120 degrees and angle J (or angle KVZ), they sum to 180 degrees.
The vertical angles would be angle J (angle KVZ) and angle XVY.
From the diagram,
Angle 1 + 55 = 120
Angle 1 = 120-55
Angle 1=65

Remember:
Supplementary angles are two angles with a sum of 180degrees.
Vertical angles are two angles whose sides form two pairs of opposite+rays. We can think of these as opposite angles formed by an X.
I assume J is a point where lines cross.
So, supplementary angles are:
<ZJK and <XJK,
<ZJY and <XJY,
<ZJW and <XJW,
<KJW and <YJW

Vertical angles are:
<ZJK is vertical with <XJY,
<XJK is vertical with <ZJY,

In each case these pairs of angles form an X.
