Newton's Second Law of Motion states that force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration, i.e. F = m*a. Learn about the Acceleration in detail here.Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

According to Newton's 2 nd law of motion
Force is the product of mass and acceleration
F = m×a
Also we know acceleration a = {final(v) - initial velocity(u)}/time
And Newton 3rd law of motion states that,to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Thus F₁ = -F₂ ------(A)
From 2nd law of motion we get
F= ma= m(v-u)/t ------(B)
Reducing B in A we get,
m₁(v₁-u₁)/t = -{m₂(v₂-u₂)/t}
m₁v₁ - m₁u₁ =m₂u₂ - m₂v₂
m₁v₁+ m₂v₂ = m₂u₂ + m₁u₁
