    Explanation:

    First of all the answer is less than the smallest resistor, so it is less than 18 ohms.

    1 / r1 + 1 / r2 = 1/r

    1/18 + 1/23.5 = 1/r

    1/18 = 0.05555555

    1/23.5 = 0.0422532

    1/18 + 1/23.5 = 0.0555555 + 0.0422532

    1/r = 0.0981087

    r = 1/0.0981087

    r = 10.193
