20. Because 3x2= 6 and 6+14= 20. duh!!!
I know I am a genius!!!
--Alternate solution (if the other answer did not answer the right question)--
I think the question can be represented by the equation 14 + 3n = 2, where n= some number that you are trying to solve for. To solve this problem is simple algebraic manipulation. Subtract 14 from both sides to get 3n= -12. Then, divide both sides by 3. The answer is n= -4. So, the missing number was -4.

Well, honey, three sevenths of fourteen is just six. Simple math, no need to make it more complicated than it is. Just divide fourteen by seven to get two, then multiply that by three to get six. Math made easy, you're welcome.
