Question

I have 2 equations. When I use \ref{} for the second equation, it gives the correct number but directs to the wrong place. How can I fix this? Thanks

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\numberwithin{equation}{subsection}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\section{Chapter 16}
\subsection{16.2}
\begin{equation}
\int_{C}f(x,y)ds=\int_{a}^{b}f\left(x(t),y(t)\right)\cdot |\vec{r}\,'(t)|\cdot dt
\label{2d}
\end{equation}
\subsection{16.3}
See \ref{2d}
\subsection{16.6}
\begin{equation}
|\vec{r}_x\times \vec{r}_y|=\sqrt{1+\left(\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right)^2} 
\label{area}
\end{equation}
\subsection{16.7}
See \ref{area}
\end{document}

Welcome! Please provide a minimal example to facilitate the debugging. Sigur suggestion should sort it out! — anderstood, Jul 31 '14 at 02:55
Looking at the aux file, both labels refer to equation.16.1, ignoring the subsection number. Not sure how to fix it yet. — John Kormylo, Jul 31 '14 at 03:34
It's not \theequation, and \subsection definitely calls \refstepcounter. — John Kormylo, Jul 31 '14 at 04:21

Put your \numberwithin{equation}{subsection} line after \usepackage{hyperref}. Apparently there is a conflict between amsmath and hyperref.

A very similar situation is described here: Hyperlinking problems when using subequations, hyperref and cleveref
