A running man has half the KE that a body of half his mass has. The man speeds up by 1.0ms^(-1) and then has the same energy as the boy. What were the original speeds of the man and the boy?

A running man has the same kinetic energy as that of a boy of half his mass. The man speed up by 2 ms^(-1) and the body changes his speed by x ms^(-1) so that the kinetic energies of the boy and the man are again equal. Then x in ms^(-1) is
