Was gonna reply with my reasoning and then realized I mucked up the logic. So I'll play the politician card and change my answer to 30.

My "reasoning" took me through a few possibilities until it dawned on me.

 

[footballer]

[sean]

36...?

[TerryP]

Spoiler: Clue #2 (or practically the answer.)

1+5=6
Keep the 6...
2+6 (plus the 6)=14.
Keep the 14.
3+7 (and the 14 you kept...)

Multiply the two numbers and then add the first.

1x5 = 5 + 1 = 6
2x6 = 12 + 2 = 14
3x7 = 21 + 3 = 24
5x1 = 5 + 5 = 10

I see what you are thinking. That's cool. Except for that pesky + sign.
