Capacitor Network: C1,C2 & C3 in Series & Parallel

[GoldWing]

Homework Statement

Capacitors C1 and C2 are connected in series and this combination is connected in parallel with capacitor C3.

Homework Equations

Q=CV
C_eq=C₁+C₂+C₃ equivalent capacitance for capacitors in parallel
1/C_eq=1/C₁+1/C₂+1/C₃ equivalent capacitance for capacitors in series

The Attempt at a Solution

The question says that C₁ and C₂ are connected in series, so I would use the second equation, so I would have 1/C=1/C₁+1/C₂, but then I don't know how I would add that to C₃.

Say you get x for the series connection and y is the capacitance of C3, the total capacitance equals x+y.

what is the problem statement?

I'm sorry, I thought I had stated this. The question is: What is the net capacitance?
If 26.0 V is applied across the whole network, calculate the voltage across each capacitor. Use the numerical values of capacitance given, C1 = 2.98 μF, C2 = 4.15 μF, and C3 = 1.64 μF.
