I used an aligned subequations environment, but for some reason my equations are aligned at the right side of the paper and falling off. I want them to be centered, and aligned at the = sign, with the equation number not below but at the right side of the equation. This is my code:

  • The widest line specifies the position of the =. In your case the last line (from \text{width } does not contain a & and therefore is at whole the left part of an align row. So you should at least add a & after denominator (which should be \mathrm{denominator} or \mathit{denominator} or even \text{denominator} and also before the * in the last line. Instead of \text{with } I would also suggest \intertext{with }. Alternatively use a separate environment, e.g., gather or split. – cabohah Mar 01 '23 at 11:31
  • As an immediate fix, you need to (a) change \text{with} to \intertext{with} and (b) add suitable alignment points in the final two rows. – Mico Mar 01 '23 at 11:40
  • Ah that fixed it, thank you! – Elaine Mar 01 '23 at 14:19
  • Earlier today, this question got closed as a supposed duplicate of an earlier query. I've reopened this question as I disagree with this assessment: The OP's formatting issue was caused by an entirely different mechanism (identified in the comment I posted above). – Mico Mar 01 '23 at 16:53

I'd avoid those fractions and move the denominators to the left-hand sides. The meaning of D can be in a separate display.

  • Very nice, will definitely use this! I was struggling myself with the large fractions and this solution is way better. – Elaine Mar 01 '23 at 14:20
