A 290 g bird flying along at 5.8 m/s sees a 9.0 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 25 m/s (as measured by an observer on the ground, not by the bird). The bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing?

I tried plugging in the numbers using answers from other questions and got 3.8m/s but it says it is wrong:

0.29*5.8 + 0.009*(-25) = 0.38*V
