The 60 and the 5 in parallel have an equivalent resistance of 4.615 ohms. (rounded). The 10 in series makes it 14.615...

60 ohm and 5 ohm resistors are in parallel and their parallel combination is given as

\(R_{parallel}\)  = Product of resistances / (Sum of resistance)

\(R_{parallel}\)  = 60 x 5 /(60 + 5)

\(R_{parallel}\)   = 4.62 ohm

The parallel combination of resistances "\(R_{parallel}\)  " and 10 ohm resistor are in series and their equivalent resistance is given as

\(R_{total}\) = \(R_{parallel}\)  + 10

\(R_{total}\) = 4.62 + 10

\(R_{total}\) = 14.62 ohm
