x  - 6*x  - 15*x + 100 = 0
$$\left(- 15 x + \left(x^{3} - 6 x^{2}\right)\right) + 100 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\left(- 15 x + \left(x^{3} - 6 x^{2}\right)\right) + 100 = 0$$
transform
$$\left(- 15 x + \left(\left(- 6 x^{2} + \left(x^{3} + 64\right)\right) + 96\right)\right) - 60 = 0$$
or
$$\left(- 15 x + \left(\left(- 6 x^{2} + \left(x^{3} - \left(-4\right)^{3}\right)\right) + 6 \left(-4\right)^{2}\right)\right) - 60 = 0$$
$$- 15 \left(x + 4\right) + \left(- 6 \left(x^{2} - \left(-4\right)^{2}\right) + \left(x^{3} - \left(-4\right)^{3}\right)\right) = 0$$
$$- 15 \left(x + 4\right) + \left(\left(x - 4\right) \left(- 6 \left(x + 4\right)\right) + \left(x + 4\right) \left(\left(x^{2} - 4 x\right) + \left(-4\right)^{2}\right)\right) = 0$$
Take common factor 4 + x from the equation
we get:
$$\left(x + 4\right) \left(\left(- 6 \left(x - 4\right) + \left(\left(x^{2} - 4 x\right) + \left(-4\right)^{2}\right)\right) - 15\right) = 0$$
or
$$\left(x + 4\right) \left(x^{2} - 10 x + 25\right) = 0$$
then:
$$x_{1} = -4$$
and also
we get the equation
$$x^{2} - 10 x + 25 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{3} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -10$$
$$c = 25$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-10)^2 - 4 * (1) * (25) = 0

Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = --10/2/(1)

$$x_{2} = 5$$
The final answer for x^3 - 6*x^2 - 15*x + 100 = 0:
$$x_{1} = -4$$
$$x_{2} = 5$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced cubic equation
$$p x^{2} + q x + v + x^{3} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = -6$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = -15$$
$$v = \frac{d}{a}$$
$$v = 100$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = q$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = v$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} + x_{3} = 6$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} + x_{1} x_{3} + x_{2} x_{3} = -15$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} x_{3} = 100$$
