You can't have any inequalities in Solve (and the syntax of your example is completely wrong). Reduce, on the other hand, should be able to handle the problem you have described, but as you do not give the slightest idea of what you did, there is no way of telling whether you "did not have any success with Reduce" also for the same reason (wrong syntax) or because your problem is one that Reduce can't handle. There are also other ways of tackling such problems (if you are satisfied with finding only approximate roots) but again little can be said with the amount of information you have provided.
