I need to write only one chapter using Latex. I tried to use a document class report because I need the equations to be numbered as: (9.1), (9.2), ... etc. But I need to start from chapter 9 and I do not know how to make it start from chapter 9 instead of chapter 1. Is there any option I can use?

Just write \setcounter{chapter}{8} in the preamble. – campa Aug 26 '20 at 11:25

@campa Would you please post your first comment as an answer to the question, so it can be officially answered? This is IMHO an easy solution that solves the issue, but unless there is a "real" answer to the question, it will have to be abandoned, which doesn't make sense. Thank you. – Markus G.

@MarkusG. I haven't written an answer because I'm fairly sure this is a duplicate, but I haven't found time to look for it yet. – campa Aug 26 '20 at 14:14
@campa That makes a lot of sense. Maybe this one? https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/124326/chapter-number-starts-at-2-not-1 It uses chapter, but is essentially the same. – Markus G. Aug 26 '20 at 14:21
@MarkusG. Yep, that looks good! – campa Aug 26 '20 at 14:25
@campa it worked thanks – amanda Aug 27 '20 at 12:52
