To factor the expression \( 35x - 40 \) completely, we start by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms, \( 35x \) and \( -40 \).

The GCF of 35 and 40 is 5.

Now, we can factor out 5 from the expression:

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

So the completely factored form of \( 35x - 40 \) is:

\[
5(7x - 8)
\]

Thus, the correct response is:

**5(7x−8)**
