change distance from equation to left margin

Post by mithriv »

I used fleqn command and all my match equation are left aligned. It's good but I want to change distance from these equation to left margin.

I tried use '\setlength{\fleqn}{2cm}' command in preamble but it doesn't work. I think that reason is that \fleqn isn't right name 'distance from equation to left margin'. But I don't know right name.

I looked up 'User’s Guide for the amsmath Package' and google but I nothing found about change this distance.

Could somebody help me?

Hi mithriv,

welcome to the board!
You could adjust \mathindent:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}
