Homework Statement



Find the net resistance for the following diagrahm.

The Attempt at a Solution



This is as far as I went to simplifying the resistors and I am stuck at the last step, not sure how to combine it since it's neither parallel or in series or is it?

I posted my work thus far, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The last step is incorrect. What can you do with the 5 Ohm and 14.4 Ohm resistors before doing the last step?
 
Must have overlooked that thanks for the help!
 
Glad to help. Welcome to the PF, by the way (BTW).
