# How to enumerate equations?

I want to enumerate equations in the following way:

• An equation is in the same line as the bullet sign.
• All equations are align to the left.
• The number of an equation is align to the right.

Any suggestions how to make it?

Does this help?

\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\newdimen\mymathindent
\newenvironment{bulletequation}%
{\@beginparpenalty\predisplaypenalty
\@endparpenalty\postdisplaypenalty
\refstepcounter{equation}%
\trivlist \item[]\leavevmode
\hb@xt@\linewidth\bgroup $\m@th%$
\displaystyle
\hskip\mymathindent}%
{$\hfil %$
\displaywidth\linewidth\hbox{\@eqnnum}%
\egroup
\endtrivlist}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{itemize}
\item \begin{bulletequation} 1+2=3\end{bulletequation}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Khalinghi: This is exactly what I was looking for, I will have to get more deep into TeX to understand how this works, but it works! –  Tomek Tarczynski Feb 9 '11 at 12:42
\documentclass{article}
\def\Item$#1${\item $\displaystyle#1$
\hfill\refstepcounter{equation}(\theequation)}

\begin{document}

\begin{itemize}
\item foo
\Item $1+2=3$
\item bar
\Item $f(x)=\int\limits_a^bx^2\mathrm{d}x$
\end{itemize}

\end{document}

This is even simpler solution, but as far as I see all equations will be numbered, what if I want to number only some equations in the list? –  Tomek Tarczynski Feb 9 '11 at 12:50
@Tomek: a very simple solution is to define \def\ItemNN$#1${\item $\displaystyle#1$} which is a math item with NoNumber \ItemNN. However, in this case you can simply type your equation like \item $\displaystyle y=f(x)$ that's all. –  Herbert Feb 9 '11 at 12:55
