If you mean the letter x, then it represents an unknown quantity in an equation.
If you mean the multiplication symbol, then it represents... well... the operation of multiplication.
If it's kind of a weird, script-looking x, it might be a Greek chi, which is used in statistics to represent a particular metric for determining how well a given curve fits a set of data points.

The answer depends on the context. Some examples:z can represent the length of a side of a polygon, for example, a triangle with sides of lengths x, y and z;z can represent the vertical axis in 3-dimensional coordinate geometry (where x and y are used for the base plane);z can represent a variable in the complex plane (z = x + yi);z can represent the probability that a random observation from a Normal distribution is at least as extreme as the one seen.
K can be a variable, it is commonly a variable in the quadratic equation y=a(x-h)2+k K is the y-intercept.
If you are talking about math then its usually " x " but if that is already use in the expression and you want to use another symbol to represent a DIFFERENT number then you can use y or a or so on.
