For a particular car, the linear function f gives the predicted power, in brake horsepower bhp, for engine speeds between 1,000 revolutions per minute rpm and 6,000 rpm. According to this function, the car's predicted power is 433 bhp at an engine speed of 3,331 rpm and 600 bhp at an engine speed of 4,500 rpm. The equation fx=17x-a+433 defines f , where x is the engine speed, in rpm, and a is a constant. What is the value of a ?

Use the exact value the question expects unless it says to round.
