Hi, Can anybody please tell me how to find the Thevenin Resistance in this circuit.. Thank you!

It is not 16.67 sorry,

Replace the source with the ideal internal resistance (voltage source) = a short(wire)
k look at it from points A and B, youll have a 10 ohm in parallel with a series parallel circuit
the the two 10 ohm resistors in parallel turn into 5 ohms
and the 5 ohms is in series with a 10 ohm so the overall circuit turns into 15 Ohms || 10 Ohms

6 Ohms is the Thevenin resistance, the thevenin voltage is the voltage accross the 10 Ohm resistor on A and B so first find the total resistance thats 16.667 Ohms= 10 Ohms + 10||20

then use the voltage divider equation to find the voltage accross the parallel part of the circuit
10*(6.67/16.67) =4 Volts now to get the voltage accross the Points A and B use another voltage divider equation and you get 4*10/20 = 2 Volts as your Thevenin Voltage

Rth = 10 + 10//10 = 10 + 5 = 15 ohms

Vth = (10/15)10 = 6.667 volts
