Need help checking a practice problem. Image attached, thanks!

Two balls with the same mass move in the direction of one another. Ball 1 moves in the positive x-
direction with speed of V₁, and ball 2 moves in the negative x-direction with a speed of 2;. The balls
collide elastically, and both change direction after the collision.
Y
Write an expression for the horizontal component of the system's initial momentum, Pix, in terms of
mass m, V₁i, and v₂i-
Write an expression for the horizontal component of the system's final momentum, prx, in terms of m
and the final speeds of ball 1, V₁f, and ball 2, ₂f-
If the initial speeds of the balls were ₁ = 2.0 m/s and v2 = 1.0 m/s what would be the final speed and
direction of ball 2, V2r, in meters per second?
