Effective Resistance of Network

Applying successively the laws of addition of series and parallel resistances, you can build up the total resistance:  R=(Subscript[R, 1234])+(Subscript[R, 5]), (1/(Subscript[R, 1234]))=(1/(Subscript[R, 123]))+(1/(Subscript[R, 4])), (Subscript[R, 123])=(Subscript[R, 1])+(Subscript[R, 23]), (1/(Subscript[R, 23]))=(1/(Subscript[R, 2]))+(1/(Subscript[R, 3])). The equivalent-resistance circuit is shown at the bottom.
