Answer:

D

Explanation:

There is an infinite amount of answers. I know this because when a calculated it, I got -11/3, which you can simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator with the same number (Like -11/3 & 3/3). You can also multiply both of them with the same number (I did 10 in this example) and get something like -110/30.
