In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number
such that

In an geometric sequence, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant. In formulas, there exists a number
such that

So, there exists infinite sequences that are not arithmetic nor geometric. Simply choose a sequence where neither the difference nor the ratio between consecutive terms is constant.
For example, any sequence starting with

Won't be arithmetic nor geometric. It's not arithmetic (no matter how you continue it, indefinitely), because the difference between the first two numbers is 14, and between the second and the third is -18, and thus it's not constant. It's not geometric either, because the ratio between the first two numbers is 15, and between the second and the third is -1/5, and thus it's not constant.

Answer:
20 green pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between black and green "ratio units" is 7 -5 = 2. The difference between red and blue ratio units is 3 -2 = 1. The sum of those differences is 2 +1 = 3 ratio units, which represent 12 pencils. Then each ratio unit represents 12/3 = 4 pencils.
The 5 ratio units of green pencils represent 5·4 pencils = 20 green pencils.
_____
If you need an equation, you can use k as the constant of proportionality. Then the sum of differences described is ...
(7k -5k) + (3k -2k) = 12
3k = 12 . . . . simplify
k = 4 . . . . . . divide by 3
5k = 5·4 = 20 . . . . . number of green pencils
