Hi, Jeter. Yes, in that situation you could use "solve", but "resolve" sounds better. Generally, when it comes to problems, people use "solve" when it's a problem that doesn't involve a disagreement with another person.

Thanks for that clear explanation. I've been wondering about the difference between solve and resolve for a long time. Great to find this post!

Hi,
the title is"Japan hoes resolve jenkins quickly"
If this is really the way the title is written, it's very poor English.
