\qquad \qquad\huge \underline{\boxed{\sf Answer}}

let the required number be ' x '

Now, let's form a equation as per the question ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: - \bigg(( 7)/(3) * 2 \bigg ) + x = (3)/(7)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: - ( 14)/(3) + x = (3)/(7)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = (3)/(7) + (14)/(3)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = (9 + 98)/(21)


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = (107)/(21)
