A particle of mass M decays at rest into two particles of mass m1 and m2. Show

Question:

A particle of mass M decays at rest into two particles of mass m1 and m2. Show that energy and momentum conservation imply that the energy of particle 1 is given by:
E = (M^2 + m1^2 + m2^2)*c^2 / (2*M)
What are the momenta of the particles?
