Homework Statement

I don't know how to simplify this circuit.
Circuit schematic with a 24 V battery U and four resistors: R1 = 560 Ω and R3 = 5.6 kΩ on the upper branches, R2 = 330 Ω and R4 = 4.7 kΩ on the lower branches, arranged in a bridge-like network with values listed to the right.

The Attempt at a Solution

I thought of this, but I don't know if it's correct, could you help me please?

Circuit schematic with a battery at the bottom; two branches in series, each with a parallel pair of resistors: R1 above R2 on the left and R3 above R4 on the right.
 
Yes, that's a good step. You'll need to add additional Relevant Equations... How do you combine resistors that are in series, and resistors that are in parallel?
 
Ahh thanks I was not sure if that was the right step, I think I can do the rest now. Thanks again.
