Answer:

Any letter you want

Step-by-step explanation:

The letters used for variables don't matter. What matters is what the variables represent: their numerical value. Variables are just to help identify what needs solving. Other common variables are a, b, and c which are found frequently in trigonometry. To answer your question, there are no "next letters." You can use any letter you'd like as a variable because it holds the same numerical value. Basically, the whole alphabet is at your disposal.
