Step-by-step explanation:
One item of information that you neglected to mention, but I believe is the case, is that L lies on XY and M lies on XZ. If that's NOT the case, the problem cannot be answered. :-) So assuming it's true...
<LNY = <NYZ <------------------ Alternate interior angles are congruent.
<NYZ = 1/2 <Y <----------------- YN is the angular bisector of Y.
<LNY = 1/2 <Y <----------------- Substitution.
<LYN = 1/2 <Y <----------------- YN is the angular bisector of Y.
<LYN = <LNY <------------------ Substitution
Triangle LNY is isoceles <---- Congruent base angles.
LY = LN <--------------------------- Property of isoceles triangle.
A similar proof can be given to show that MZ = MN.
So... YL + ZM = LN + MN = LM
