X=25/11 and y=17/11 if that’s what your asking for
F(11) means to replace x in the equation with 11
12(11) + 5
12 x 11 = 132
Now you have 132 + 5 = 137
F(11) = 137
The common ratio is the current number divided by the previous. So the ratio is 1/2
The sequence is 12, 6, 3, 3/2, 3/4 ...
You can obtain any number multiplying the previous number times 1/2.
6 = 12 *(1/2)
3 = 6*(1/2)
3/2 = 3*(1/2)
For this case we have that the variable "x" represents the number of hours that Leticia uses to take care of children on Saturday.
IF on Friday I use 4 hours ($ 8 each) and on Saturday "x" hours ($ 8 each) obtaining a profit of $ 72, we have the following equation:

We apply distributive property:

So, on Saturday she spent 5 hours.
