The power all goes to heat energy in the resistors. The easiest way to get an answer is to find the equivalent series resistance r, and then the power is P = i²r, where i is the 2A current provided by the source.
The circuit has resistance of R+5 and 10 in parallel, so:
1/r = 1/(R+5) + 1/10 = (R + 15)/(10R + 50)
r = (10R + 50)/(R + 15)
i²r = 24
4 (10R + 50) / (R + 15) = 24
10R + 50 = 6(R + 15)
4R = 90 - 50 = 40
R = 10
