Question 356304: Do two linear equalities always have a solution? If not, why not? If yes, under what conditions?

No, not necessarily a common solution.
x%3E4 and x%3C1 don't have a common solution because no number exist that's greater than 4 and less than 1 at the same time.

.
The only time they'll have exactly the same solution is when they're the same inequality.
For example,
x%3E5 shares the solution with 2x-10%3E0 because,
2x-10%3E0
2x%3E10
x%3E5
