Question 371318
A panda can eat the leaves from a certain bamboo stem in 14 minutes.  Together, two pandas could eat the leaves from that same stem in 9 minutes. how long would it take the second panda to eat the leaves from the stem by itself?

Let x = the number of minutes it would take the second panda to eat the leaves from the stem by itself

1/14 + 1/x = 1/9

       1/x = 1/9 - 1/14
       1/x = (14 - 9)/126
       1/x = 5/126
         x = 126/5
         x = 25.2
