Answer

Let the required number be xx.

According to the given condition,

⇒−1+x=57⇒x=57−(−1)⇒x=57+1⇒x=5+77⇒x=127=157\Rightarrow -1 + x = \dfrac{5}{7} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{5}{7} - (-1) \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{5}{7} + 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{5 + 7}{7} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{12}{7} = 1\dfrac{5}{7}

Hence, the required number is 127\mathbf{\dfrac{12}{7}}.
