Bottom branch has R_3$R_3$ and R_4$R_4$ in series: R_textbottom = 5 + 10 = 15\ Omega$R_{\text{bottom}} = 5 + 10 = 15\ \Omega$. ### Step 1: Calculate Equivalent Parallel Resistance These two branches are connected in parallel, so the total equivalent resistance is: R_p = frac10 times 1510 + 15 = frac15025 = 6\ Omega$$R_p = \frac{10 \times 15}{10 + 15} = \frac{150}{25} = 6\ \Omega$$ This matches the target value of 6\ Omega$6\ \Omega$ perfectly.
