A particle of rest mass M 0 decays into two identical particles of rest mass m 0

Question:

A particle of rest mass M₀ decays into two identical particles of rest mass m₀, where m₀ = 0.3M₀. Prior to the decay, the particle of rest mass M₀ has an energy of 4M₀c² in the laboratory. The velocities of the decay products are along the direction of motion of M₀. Find the velocities of the decay products in the laboratory.
