(a) Have you tried using the equation of conservation of momentum?
M*2.80 + 2M*1.53 = 3M*V
M cancels out. You don't need know what it is, since they all have the same mass.
Solve for V, the final speed.
(b) You can easily calculate the initial and final total kinetic energies. Subtract final from initial.
There is still time. Get busy.
