Answer:

real numbers, including the boundary lines

Explanation:

The inequality symbols in this system both include the "or equal to" case, so the boundary lines of the "shaded area" are part of the solution set.

Ordinarily, weight is a continuous variable, so we presume the weights of almonds and cashews may be any real number. The problem statement gives no clarity in that regard, so it is entirely possible that the given nuts will only be delivered in packages with integer weights.

Based on our presumption, the solution set is best described as below.

_____

Additional comments

Each inequality gives rise to a "shaded region," as shown in the second attachment. The solution set will be the doubly-shaded region, limited to the first quadrant. (Quantities of nuts cannot be negative.) Strictly speaking, the answer choices are all incorrect.
