You shouldn't have any trouble with this one, if you remember the formula for an object's momentum:

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity) .

For the truck:  m= 2,120 kg, v= 26 m/s east.  

Truck momentum = (2,120 kg) x (26 m/s east)

For the car: m= 1,350 kg

Car momentum = (1,350 kg) x (speed m/s east)

They're supposed to be EQUAL !

So  Truck momentum = Car momentum .

(2,120 x 26 east) = (1,350 x speed east)

Surely you can take this and figure out what 'speed' is.
