Answer:

D.

Explanation:

7 5/6 - 9 3/4 = −1 11/12

(-7 5/6) + (-9 3/4) = −17 7/12

(-7 5/6) * 9 3/4 = -76 3/8

(-7 5/6) / (-9 3/4) = 94/117

This is easy to figure out at a glance, but I thought whole answers would be easier to understand.

So basically, the equations two negatives are better off being crossed off if negatives are being added together, multiplied together, or multiplied by a positive number. Negative divided by a negative will be the greatest answer, because it will lead to a positive most of the time.
