To factor the expression \(35x - 40\) completely, we first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms.

The GCF of 35 and 40 is 5.

Now, we can factor out 5 from the expression:

\[
35x - 40 = 5(7x - 8)
\]

Thus, the completely factored expression is:

\[
5(7x - 8)
\]

So the correct response is:

**5(7x−8)**
