factor the expression completely 40x - 35
To factor the expression completely, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both terms and then factor it out.
The GCF of 40x and 35 is 5.
Factoring out the GCF, we have:
40x - 35 = 5(8x - 7)
So, the completely factored expression is 5(8x - 7).
