We can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees to find the measure of ∠DBC.

In triangle ABC, we have:

∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°

Substituting the given measures, we get:

155° + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°

Since ∠ABC and ∠CAB are already given, we can solve for ∠BCA:

∠BCA = 180° - 155° - 60°

∠BCA = 180° - 215°

∠BCA = -35°

However, angles cannot have negative measures. Therefore, there must be an error in the given data or in our calculations.
