Answer

$$R= 30.0 \ \Omega .$$

Work Step by Step

We have $$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}$$ We plug in the $R$ values and find the common denominator ($150$) to combine the fractions: $$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{50}+\frac{1}{75}=\frac{3+2}{150}=\frac{5}{150}$$ Hence, we get $$R=\frac{150}{5}=30.0 \ \Omega .$$
