matlab function "solve" couldn't solve correctly

syms x;
g=x.^2-sin(x+0.15);
s=solve(g==x)
hold on;
fplot(g);
fplot(x);
As above, the equation "x.^2-sin(x+0.15)==x" should have 2 answers. I can tell from the plot of g and x.

While using the function " solve ", i could only get one answer as below.
Warning: Unable to solve symbolically. Returning a numeric approximation instead.
> In solve (line 304)
In test (line 3)
s =
-0.07234414896484352635594864867791
Does it happen when "solve" Unable to solve symbolically, or is there something with my way of solving this problem. Thank you guys in advance.

 Accepted Answer

fsolve(matlabFunction(g-x),[-1,2])
% you can also use vpasolve() with random set to true in a loop to see the possibilities

it works!!!!!! thank you very much. btw, i tried vpasolve() and it doesn't solve correctly as well. Seemed like fsolve() works better on this equation.
