Too much space left column

Post by Imanengineer »

Hey there,

I was making a Latex file for someone with some mathematical equations on it. I figured it'd look better if I aligned the equations at the '='-sign. However, when I had done that, the most left column had got an extra space on top. I have tried seemingly everything but I just cannot get rid of it!

The .tex file is attached to this post.

Any help is appreciated!

Too much space left column

Hi,

I would suggest you to use the flalign* environment provided by the amsmath package. Take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}

\section{Test}
\begin{flalign*}
  1x+1x=&& 3x+9x=&&6x-9x=\\
  y+y=&& 6y+100y=&&7q-3q=
\end{flalign*}

\end{document}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
