How do you get an equation number to appear left of a math expression instead of to the right?

I do not want every formula in the document to appear on the left hand side. I'm trying to make a new environment that puts its equation numbers to the left as one of its properties.

For the sake of consistency I dissuade from single equations with their number to the left. Whatever you do, you should always keep the reader in mind. But perhaps the "Math mode" document has a solution.
