Does vertical math work as way to code complex equations like this:

{

\\I want to vertically add line one to line two, and then show it is equal to 2(phi-1) on line three, but I can't find the way to add two stacked equations which use pi, phi or the value of e and get invalid equation messages
\\


line one: [pi-1/2-(phi-1)-(e-1-1/2)]*2-1=0.61055367276


line two: [[pi-1/2-[[pi-1/2-(phi-1)-(e-1-1/2)]2-1]-(e-1-1/2)]2-1]=0.62551430473


line three: (0.62551430473+0.61055367276)/2=0.61803398874


phi-1=1/phi


phi-1=0.61803398875


1/phi=0.61803398875


π, Σ and Φ=0 as,


1/2-1=-1/2


}

This way of coding them is too long:

    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community May 16 '22 at 18:29

    it is very hard to understand your question. Perhaps you are looking for amsmath package align environment then &= on each row would make all the = line up? – David Carlisle May 16 '22 at 18:54
  • What do you mean by "vertical math"? "vertically add line one to line two"? What have you tried that led to "invalid equation messages"? What were the exact messages? – Teepeemm May 16 '22 at 19:22
  • I used this code I googled: \begin{tabular}{cccc} & [\pi-1/2-(\phi-1)-(\epsilon-1-1/2)]*2-1\
    • & [[\pi-1/2-[[\pi-1/2-(\phi-1)-(\epsilon-1-1/2)]2-1]-(\epsilon-1-1/2)]2-1] \

    \hline & \phi-1 \cdot \frac{1}{\phi}= \ \end{tabular} this code was from this site, and the invalid equation message appears when entering \pi or \epsilon or \phi, and this is only when these values were used in the tabular, and irrespective of any present incorrect placement of the equal to statement.
