A power plant tracks its daily energy output using two sensors, A and B, placed at different points in the distribution network. Sensor A records output values between 5 and 50 megawatts , while sensor B records values between 100 and 1000 MW. Both sensors use the same linear scaling formula to convert raw measurements to displayed values: . Sensor A shows a reading of 20 MW when the raw measurement is 8 units, and 35 MW when the raw measurement is 14 units. Sensor B uses the same scaling constants and . If sensor B shows a reading of 550 MW, what is the corresponding raw measurement?
