Answer:
5140 and 3140
Step-by-step explanation:
Note there is a common difference d between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is
d = 140 - 40 = 240 - 140 = 340 - 240 = 100
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 40 and d = 100, thus
= 40 + (51 × 100) = 40 + 5100 = 5140
= 40 + (31 × 100) = 40 + 3100 = 3140
