equation number for multiple line equation

Post by gcheer3 »

Hello,

I wrote an equation which has multiple lines. I used
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
blabla.....
\end{split}
\end{equation}

The equation number is shown in the middle (e.g., I have a 5 line euqation, the number is on the 3rd line). But I want the equation number on the last line. How can I do it? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Thanks a lot.

Load the amsmath package with an adequate option.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[tbtags]{amsmath}
The manual will tell you more.
