Animation is a method in which a sequence of images are manipulated to appear as moving objects. An animation specialist wants to show the growth of a sapling into a tree through animation. She follows the steps below:

  • She develops the first image by designing a sapling containing a certain number of leaves.
  • She develops the second image by adding 15 leaves to the first image.
  • She develops the third image by adding 22 leaves to the second image.
  • She develops the fourth image by adding 29 leaves to the third image and so on.

If she continues the process in the same manner, how many leaves will she be adding to the 25th image to develop 26th image? Show your work.
