Solve and resolve both mean finding a solution to a problem. Solve is used for problems with one correct answer, like math problems or puzzles. Resolve is more formal, usually for conflicts or issues between people. This does not cover resolve meaning to decide something.
这两个词在“解决问题”这一意义上很接近，但solve更常用于有明确答案的问题，如数学题、谜题；而resolve更正式，通常用于解决人与人之间的冲突或复杂的问题。这里不比较resolve作名词或“下定决心”的义项（如make a resolve、resolve to do something）。
