Change the place of a figure

Question

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsfonts,amsmath,amssymb,graphicx,amsthm,mathtools,systeme}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{left=1.5cm,right=1.5cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=2.3cm}
\begin{document}




\noindent Let $D$ be the region bounded by the graphs of $y = x$, $y = 0$ and $x = 1$ as shown in the figure. Evaluate the following quantity:
\begin{equation*}
\int \int_{D}(x^2+3y^2+2xy)dxdy
\end{equation*}
\vspace{-0.8cm}
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.7]{int.jpg}
%\caption {\scriptsize The region $D$.}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\vspace{-0.8cm}
\end{document}

Unrelated don't use center to center inside a float like figure. center adds vertical space around the image, so does the float. Replace \begin{center} by \centering and remove \end{center}. — daleif, Dec 13 '23 at 09:13
Another comment, the line length you are using (only having 1.5cm margins left and right) makes your text very hard to read. — daleif, Dec 13 '23 at 09:14
@daleif I think it is clear to read. What is the alternative suggestion? — Student, Dec 13 '23 at 09:20
Larger margins. One has to consentrate much harder to read such long lines. It is akin to reading a news paper and instead of 6 columns of text there are only two. Very annoying to read. — daleif, Dec 13 '23 at 09:23
Where figure should be? In parallel to equation, but between paragraphs above and below equation? — Zarko, Dec 13 '23 at 11:00

wrapstuff is a good choice. But its documentation is in Chinese.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,amsmath}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{wrapstuff}
\begin{document}
\begin{wrapstuff}[type=figure, width=.2\textwidth]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image.jpg}
  \caption{Example Image}
\end{wrapstuff}
\noindent Let $D$ be the region bounded by the graphs of $y = x$, $y = 0$ and $x = 1$ as shown in the figure. Evaluate the following quantity:
\begin{equation*}
\iint_{D}(x^2+3y^2+2xy)dxdy
\end{equation*}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

Adjust the value of width key if you find the figure looks small.

Thanks. But the figure looks small. – Student Dec 13 '23 at 09:44
@Student See the edited answer. – Stephen Dec 13 '23 at 09:50

Using adjustbox combined with minipages provides more flexibility

Have a look here also -- Understanding minipages - aligning at top

With the first adjustbox

Without the first adjustbox

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{adjustbox}
\begin{document}
\section{Having a picture problem?}
\adjustbox{valign=t}{\begin{minipage}[t]{0.6\linewidth}
        Let $D$ be the region bounded by the graphs of $y = x$, $y = 0$ and $x = 1$ as shown in the figure. Evaluate the following quantity:
        \begin{equation*}
            \int \int_{D}(x^2+3y^2+2xy)dxdy
        \end{equation*}
\end{minipage}}%
\hfill
\adjustbox{valign=t}{\begin{minipage}[t]{0.3\linewidth}
        \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{foo}
\end{minipage}}



\end{document}

Another approach is to use paracol. The only problem is trying to align the equation and the figure, since they don't share a baseline.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amsmath,amssymb,graphicx,amsthm,mathtools,systeme}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{left=1.5cm,right=1.5cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=2.3cm}
\usepackage{paracol}
\begin{document}
\noindent Let $D$ be the region bounded by the graphs of $y = x$, $y = 0$ and $x = 1$ as shown in the figure. Evaluate the following quantity:
\hrule% show top
\begin{paracol}{2}
%\vfil% center in column
\begin{equation}
\int \int_{D}(x^2+3y^2+2xy)dxdy
\end{equation}
\switchcolumn
\begin{figure}[t]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image}
\caption {\scriptsize The region $D$.}
\end{figure}
\vspace{-\textfloatsep}% remove padding below figure
\end{paracol}
\hrule% show bottom
\end{document}

You can use float package with the option H for the figure. An observation. The double integral code is \iint and not \int \int.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amssymb,graphicx,amsthm,mathtools,systeme}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{float}
\geometry{left=1.5cm,right=1.5cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=2.3cm}
\begin{document}
\noindent Let $D$ be the region bounded by the graphs of $y = x$, $y = 0$ and $x = 1$ as shown in the figure. Evaluate the following quantity:
\begin{equation}
\iint_{D}(x^2+3y^2+2xy)dxdy
\end{equation}
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.7]{example-image-b}
%\caption {\scriptsize The region $D$.}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Thanks for your answer. But I would like the figure besides the equation since now it takes a lot of space — Student, Dec 13 '23 at 09:14
