Revisiting the general cubic: A simplification of Cardano's solution

Motivated by the recent work of William Y.C. Chen, in which he presents a way to solve cubic equations by considering the identity of Sylvester, we investigate the solutions obtained in this way. It leads us to a unified expression of the solutions different from Cardano's formula. Plenty of examples are given in this paper, also some interesting identities are obtained as byproducts.
