    Assuming that the collision is inelastic that is they are stuck together after the collision, momentum is conserved. We can determine the final velocity of the final mass as follows:

    m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

    100 (4) + (200) (-3) = (300) v3

    v3 = - 0.6667 m/s

    Therefore, the final mass moves at 0.6667 m/s to the left.
