x2+y2+2ux+2vy=0

is same as

(x+u)2+(y+v)2=u2+v2

same way, 2nd eqtn is

(x+u1)2+(y+v1)2=u12+v12

Now they will touch each other if the distance of the centers is equal to the sum or difference of the radius!

(u-u1)2+(v-v1)2={√u2+v2 - √u12+v12}2

uu1 + vv1=√u2+v2u12+v12

square both sides again!!!!!

(u1v-uv1)2=0

hence proved!
