Hi,
solve cannot solve inequalities. For simple rational inequalities you can
load and use the addon package solve_rat_ineq.
(%i1) display2d:false$
(%i2) load("solve_rat_ineq");
(%o2) "/usr/share/maxima/5.24.0/share/contrib/solve_rat_ineq.mac"
(%i3) solve_rat_ineq(7*x+2<-x-3);
(%o3) [[x < -5/8]]
Hope that helps
