x  - 5*x - 9 = 0
$$\left(x^{3} - 5 x\right) - 9 = 0$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced cubic equation
$$p x^{2} + q x + v + x^{3} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 0$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = -5$$
$$v = \frac{d}{a}$$
$$v = -9$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = q$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = v$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = 0$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = -5$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = -9$$

Numerical answer [src]
x1 = -1.42759826966035 - 1.05551430999854*i
x2 = 2.8551965393207
x3 = -1.42759826966035 + 1.05551430999854*i
x3 = -1.42759826966035 + 1.05551430999854*i
