Answer:

  the solution set will be non-empty

Step-by-step explanation:

The original inequalities describe regions bounded by parallel lines. The solution is the intersection of the region above the upper line and below the lower line. There is no intersection of those regions, so there is no solution to the original inequalities.

__

When the inequality symbols are reversed, the solution region is the intersection of the region below the upper line and above the lower line. That is, the solution region now exists and is the space between the lines (not including the lines themselves). A graph of this new solution region is attached.
