General ⇒ Equations inside braces

[Julien12]

Hi all,

I have two coupled equations that I would like to display with a left brace, but I want each one of them to have their own label, in other words something like this:

-
| A = B (1)
-|
| C = D (2)
-

The problem is you need to be in a mathematic environment to put the brace (either with \begin{cases} or by creating an array), and you cannot begin equations inside a mathematic environment. If you begin equations before the command for the braces, you end up with one label for the two equations.

Anybody has an idea on how to do that?

Thanks a lot

Hi Julien,

welcome to the board!
You could do it by using the empheq package, see its documentation.

Take a look at the empheq package from the mh bundle. The documentation shows in detail what to do.
