What function are you using to do this? Showing us a minimal example might be helpful.

If you're not using it already, I recommend find_root for numerical solutions to 1-variable equations.

As far as I can tell, Maxima is used primarily for symbolic manipulations in Sage, and other things are used for numerical optimization. So if you're using a function that uses Maxima, you might only get symbolic output.
