I have this equation:

\begin{equation} \label{eq:helicsol}
    x = y
\end{equation}

and then I have:

As we can observe, the solution of \ref{eq:helicsol}

and I get:

As we can observe, the solution of 2

since this is the second equation in my document. So, I could put parentheses manually, but I would like this to happen automatically, because the equation environment will put parentheses automatically when displaying x = y.

with amsmath, use \eqref{...}. see What is the difference between \eqref and \ref?. – barbara beeton Apr 25 '15 at 16:58
That's it @barbarabeeton, I did not know it. Are you going to post this as an answer? Oh you mean a duplicate? I could not find that if this is the case. – gsamaras Apr 25 '15 at 17:01
Well @barbarabeeton how would a simple user like me find the other question, since it contains \eqref in its title? :) I think my question is not that bad and an answer would be nice. – gsamaras Apr 25 '15 at 17:12
