Math & Science ⇒ Equation system variables not aligning

[jzx]

\[
\systeme{x -y + az = 1,
2x - y + z = -1,
ax + y - z = 1
\]

its a equation system with x,y,z as usual, but I have the unknown a also infront of z in the first equation and in front of x in the third equation. I want the output to be 4 columns and the x should align with x and so on. I want systeme to understand that not treat a as a varible but as a number.

Now the output of the first row is:
az +x - y = 1, when it should be x-y+az=1

Welcome to the forum!

You can specify the order, such as here:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{systeme}
\begin{document}
\systeme[xyz]{x -y + az = 1,
  2x - y + z = -1,
  ax + y - z = 1}
\end{document}

Working perfect,
Thank you so much!
