Jun 30, 2020 at 20:52 comment added The Photon As others say, you can re-draw this to make it more clear. Also, this problem is often given with further condtions, like R1=R2=R4=R5. If you were given that information, you can simplify the circuit even further with a clever trick.
Jun 30, 2020 at 19:32 comment added jonk If you redraw your schematic you will find that it is similar to a "Wheatstone bridge" (not invented by Wheatstone who only popularized another's invention) except that there is a resistor where a source usually is placed. It's a classic case suggesting that you memorize the \$\Delta-Y\$ conversions (both directions may be worth memorizing.) But it can also be solved out using nodal analysis, too. Are you familiar with nodal?
Jun 30, 2020 at 17:44 comment added Andy aka R5 to R1 is as R4 to R2 - redraw to make the image simpler - this always helps.
Jun 30, 2020 at 17:35 comment added Eugene Sh. I would redraw this circuit first to clearly see what is parallel to what
