Answer:

Use one 3 ohm resistor and one 6 ohm resistor in paralel

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve two resistor in paralel:


R=({(1)/(R1)+(1)/(R2) } )^(-1)

For the case of only two resistor:


R=(R1*R2)/(R1+R2)

Doing this for the 3 and the 6 ohm resistor plus the 48 ohm:


R=(3*6)/(3+6)+48=50
