$v_(2a)=1,038 m/sec$
$v_(1a)=23,962 m/sec$

Explanation:

$Sigma P_b= Sigma P_a$
$Sigma P_b": sum of momentums before"$
$Sigma P_a:" sum of momentums after"$
$23*25+0=23*v_(1a)+2*v_(2a)$
$575=23*v_(1a)+2*v_(2a)$
$v_(1b)+v_(2b)=v_(1a)+v_(2a)$
$25+0=v_(1a)+v_(2a) "$
$v_(1a)=25-v_(2a)$
$575=23(25-v_(2a))+2*v_(2a)$
$575=575*v_(2a)-23*v_(2a)+2*v_(2a)$
$554*v_(2a)=575$
$v_(2a)=1,038 m/sec$
$25=v_(1a)+1,038$
$v_(1a)=25-1,038$
$v_(1a)=23,962 m/sec$
