Multiple rows of equations

I'd like to know if there's a way of having multiple equations in one block of equation. Here's my first equation:

\begin{equation}
   \binom{n}{2} + 3 = \frac{1}{2} n^2 - 2
\end{equation}

Now I'd like to write every step of this problem. Is this possible without creating more equation blocks?

May be align environment? – Manuel Jun 20 '14 at 20:06
I'd like the equations to be each in its own row and also numerated. Is that possible with align? I'm kinda new to LaTeX in general so I'm not sure. – RidableCthulu Jun 20 '14 at 20:07

The behavior you're describing is the default behavior for align. The Short Math Guide for LaTeX is an excellent read and should bring you up to speed quickly. :-) BTW: Welcome to TeX.SX! – Paul Gessler Jun 20 '14 at 20:14
Look here for align, and you will get for sure results. Or look at mathtools or amsmath documentation. – Manuel Jun 20 '14 at 20:14

Thanks for the document! I'll be sure to read it :) and also thanks for welcoming me here. Next year I'm starting college and I sure hope that I can use LaTeX for most of my stuff! – RidableCthulu Jun 20 '14 at 20:16
If you just need equations, use gather. If you want them to align nicely (at the = sign), then align is the way to go. – Johannes_B Jun 20 '14 at 20:52
Yep! I managed to sort it out just like I wanted with align... Thanks again, guys! – RidableCthulu Jun 20 '14 at 20:59
Perhaps with the amsmath' package you can do it easily. There are few environments that you can use, such asalign' or `gather' and you can use also starred versions if you want to avoid the number. Take a look at the documentation of the package, surelly you'll love it. – Aradnix Jun 20 '14 at 22:36
