assistant:  Let'sLet's clarify the arrangement first:

- R2 and R3 are in parallel.
- The combination of R2 and R3 is in series with R1.

Given:
- \( R_1 = 14 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 14 \, \Omega \)
- \( R_3 = 19 \, \Omega \)

### Step 1: Calculate the equivalent resistance of R2 and R3 in parallel:

\[
\frac{1}{R_{23}} = \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3} = \frac{1}{14} + \frac{1}{19}
\]

Calculate each reciprocal:
\[
\frac{1}{14} \approx 0.07143, \quad \frac{1}{19} \approx 0.05263
\]

Sum:
\[
0.07143 + 0.05263 = 0.12406
\]

Equivalent resistance for R2 and R3:
\[
R_{23} = \frac{1}{0.12406} \approx 8.06 \, \Omega
\]

### Step 2: Add R1 in series:

\[
R_{\text{total}} = R_1 + R_{23} = 14 + 8.06 = 22.06 \, \Omega
\]

### Final answer:
**Total resistance \( R_{\text{total}} \approx 22.1 \, \Omega \).**
