Vertical angles are congruent, so we have:
angle y = 60 degrees
angle x = 60 degrees
Since angle y and angle x form a straight line with the 70 degree angle, we have the following equation:
angle y + angle x + 70 = 180
Substitute the values of angle y and angle x into the equation:
60 + 60 + 70 = 180
190 = 180
This is not possible, so there may be a mistake in the problem statement.
In the figure below, angle y and angle x form vertical angles. Angle y forms a straight line with the 60° angle and the 70° angle.
A straight line is shown and is marked with three angles. The first angle measures 60 degrees. The second angle measures 60 degrees. The third angle is labeled y. The line between the 70 degree angle and angle y extends below the straight line. The angle formed is labeled angle x.

I apologize for the mistake in my response earlier. Let's correct that and solve the problem.
Given:
angle y = 60 degrees
angle x = 60 degrees
The equation for the sum of angles on a straight line is:
angle y + 70 + angle x = 180
Substitute the values of angle y and angle x into the equation:
60 + 70 + 60 = 180
190 = 180
This is not possible. Therefore, there may still be a mistake in the problem statement. Please double-check the given information and provide the correct values if possible.

Thank you for providing the correct information. Let's solve the problem with the corrected details.
Given:
angle y = 60 degrees
angle x = 60 degrees
The equation for the sum of angles on a straight line is:
angle y + 70 + angle x = 180
Substitute the values of angle y and angle x into the equation:
60 + 70 + 60 = 180
130 + 60 = 180
190 = 180
The equation results in an inconsistency, so let's reevaluate the information provided and equation:
Since angle x and angle y are vertical angles, they are congruent:
angle x = angle y
The equation for the sum of angles on a straight line is:
angle y + 70 + angle x = 180
Substitute the known values:
60 + 70 + 60 = 180
130 + 60 = 180
190 = 180
Since the equation is still inconsistent, we need to reevaluate the problem where the angles are placed and verify that all the information is correct.
