Question in resistors in series and parallel - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

I need to use a 15M Ω resistor in a circuit, however my local parts supplier doesn't supply them. They do however supply 10M Ω resistors, so would I get 15M Ω of resistance if I took 3 of them, connected 2 in parallel and the other in series?

Code:

          |--OOOO--|
----OOOO--|        |----
          |--OOOO--|

OOOO = 10M Ω Resistor
