So, what is/are exactly your question(s)? Solve solves equations (and inequalities too) which the first two epressions you gave are NOT.

equation,
n. a formula that asserts that two expressions have the same value; it is either an identical equation (usually called an identity), which is true for any values of the variables, or a  conditional equation, which is only true for certain values of the variables (the roots of the equation). For example,  x2- 1 = (x + 1)(x - 1) is an identity, and  x2- 1 = 3 is a conditional equation with roots x = ±2.
