    In the given question, there are several information's worth noting. Based on these given information's the actual answer to the question can be found. She makes 10 baskets on the first day and then increases the number of baskets by 4 on every consecutive days. So the thing that needs to be found is the number of baskets he makes on the 14th day. This is an arithmetic progression problem.

    Now if we consider the 14th day as the Nth term, then we can write the equation as

    A (N) = 4 (N - 1) + 10

    A (14) = 4 (14 - 1) + 10

    A (14) = (4 * 13) + 10

    = 52 + 10

    = 62

    So Janelle will make 62 baskets on the 14th day.
