Answer:

the momentum of the system must be ZERO just before the bullet is shot

Explanation:

As we know that initially the bullet is inside the gun with stationary condition

So here we can say that gun and bullet was both at rest initially

so we have

P = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

since both are at rest so we have

v_1 = v_2 = 0

so total momentum of the system will be

P = 0

So the momentum of the system must be ZERO just before the bullet is shot

The momentum before is zero because nothing is moving. Note that because momentum is a conserved vector, the total momentum after the shot is also zero. You just have to add the products of mass and velocity in opposite directions. So the answer is zero
