When we work with levers, we look at the lever and at the fulcrum. There are 4 variables in the scenario, and they are the force being applied on one side of the lever, and the force being applied on the other. Then there is the distance from the fulcrum that one force is being applied, and lastly the distance from the fulcrum to where the other force is being applied. The forces are Fr and Fe, and the distances from the fulcrum are Dr and De. (We often actually use F1, F2 and D1, D2.) If everything balances out and a static (stationary) condition exists, F1 x D1 = F2 x D2. (For your variables, Fr x Dr = Fe x De.) The products of the force on one side and distance from the fulcrum on that one side equals that same thing on the other side. Simple and easy.

What do the letter x and y stand for?

X and Y do not stand for anything. They are merely letters that represent a variable in an algebraic equation. X is generally used as the first variable, and Y is used as the second variable, to differentiate the difference between two variables so one letter does not need to be used for two variables. In GRAPHS, they stand for the axis line. X is the horizontal axis, and Y is the vertical axis.
