Answer:

The completed sequence is


39, 40, 36, 37, 33, 34, 30, 31, 27, 28, 24, 25, 21, 22, 18, 19, 15, 16, 12, 13, 9, 10, 6, 7, 3, 4, 0

Explanation:

The given sequence is

39, 40, 36, 37, 33, 34, ...

Notice that the sequence has two operations that form the pattern. First, 1 unit is being added, then 4 units are being subtracted.

Using this pattern, we can extend the sequence


39, 40, 36, 37, 33, 34, 30, 31, 27, 28, 24, 25, 21, 22, 18, 19, 15, 16, 12, 13, 9, 10, 6, 7, 3, 4, 0
