\mathrm{ r_{\mathrm{eq}_1}=\frac{r}{2}, r_{\mathrm{eq_2}}=2 r }
\mathrm{ E_{\mathrm{eq}_1}=\frac{r}{2}\left(\frac{E}{r}+\frac{E}{r}\right)=E, E_{\mathrm{eq_2}}=2 E }
\mathrm{ I_1=\frac{E}{5+\frac{r}{2}}, I_2=\frac{2 E}{2 r+5} }
\mathrm{ I_1=I_2 }
\mathrm{ 2 r+5=2\left(5+\frac{r}{2}\right) }
\mathrm{ r=5 \Omega}
