I know how to shade in the fesible region. My text book has given me the wrong answer and  now I’m not quite sure how to answer.

Sometimes there can be a wrong answer in a textbook--first editions, especially.
You labeled this an Algebra Linear Programming task. You did not include an objective function to be evaluated; the solution is always at a corner point of the region. (That's why I mentioned first quadrant only)
 
In what way is the book's answer wrong?
 
You should note the 'capital omega' symbol on which you may click to see a variety of math symbols that you may use, including the ≤≤ and ≥ symbols.
