Find the equivalent resistance
Hand-drawn circuit schematic with the heading 'Given all Resistors are 10 Ω, Find the Equivalent resistance of the circuit'; resistors connect two terminals across a network of series and parallel branches.
i keep getting 45.3 ohms but the answer is 25.6 ohms
 
Can't tell where your mistake is unless you post your intermediate steps that lead you to a (false) answer of 45.3 ohms, but I did it my self and I found it to be 25.6 ohms indeed (25.555 to be more precise).

Yes I figured it out I wasn't using my common sense, thank you

Not exactly common sense, but it is kind of easy problem if you carefully identify the components in series and the components in parallel.
