$\huge { \color{blue} | \: { \boxed{ \mathfrak{ \underline{Solution }}} \: { \color{blue}| }}}$

Let the unknown number be x

$\therefore \: (- 3 ) \times x = - 26$

$x = \frac{ \cancel - 26}{ \cancel- 3} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: ( - \times - = + )$

$x = \frac{26}{3} = 8 \frac{2}{3}$
