I'm trying to recreate the below image where the defining of the variables is kind of like a horizontal list but without labels. I have tried using tasks and multicols but can't quite figure this out.
\documentclass[11pt, letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}
Consider the following intervals:
\begin{multicols}{2}
A = (1,5] \\
C = [4,7)
\columnbreak
B = [1,4) \\
D = (2,5)
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
Which results in this:
Since it is maths, use one of the environments provided by amsmath for such things. For example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
Consider the following intervals:
\[
\begin{aligned}
A &= (1,5] & B &= [1,4) \\
C &= [4,7) & D &= (2,5) \\
\end{aligned}
\]
\end{document}
Well, this is precisely what align does.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
Consider the following intervals:
\begin{align*}
A &= (1,5]&
B &= [1,4) \\
C &= [4,7) &
D &= (2,5)
\end{align*}
\end{document}
\begin{aligned} vs. using begin{align*}? I notice the answer from @cfr puts it inside a math-mode environment but this one does not.

You also can have full control on the spacing between the columns with alignat:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
Consider the following intervals:
\begin{alignat*}{2}
A &= (1,5]&\hspace{6pc}
B &= [1,4) \\
C &= [4,7) &
D &= (2,5)
\end{alignat*}
\end{document}
amsmathwith the environments it provides for alignment. – cfr Dec 22 '17 at 04:07\documentclass, includes all relevant\usepackagecommands, ends with\end{document}and compiles without errors, even if it does not produce your desired output. – Sandy G Dec 22 '17 at 04:08
