    W = widthw + 7 = length {length is 7 more than the width} Area of rectangle = width x length

    w (w + 7) ≥ 375 {area needs to be at least 375}

    w² + 7w ≥ 375 {used distributive property}

    The inequality that can be used to determine the possible dimension of the base of the dog house is w (w + 7) ≥ 375 {area needs to be at least 375} and w² + 7w ≥ 375 {used distributive property}.
