Aligning different and numbered equations in Latex

Question

I can align different lines of the same equation in Latex with this code:

\begin{equation}
\begin{align}
 \frac{\partial a}{\partial b}(x)&=\frac{\partial a}{\partial c}\times \frac{\partial c}{\partial b} = \\ 
 &= \frac{\partial a}{\partial c}(x)\times \frac{\partial c}{\partial b}
\end{align}
\end{equation} 

but I couldn't find any solution for aligning different numbered equations like these:

\begin{equation}
q_{new} = q \times q(\omega + \Omega) \Delta t
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
 v_{new} = v + V 
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}
\omega_{new} = \omega + \Omega 
\end{equation}

I get this output, which is not aligned by equal sign:

Which is the right way to proceed?

EDIT

The solution was using

\begin{align}
\end{align}

Numeration is managed at the same time as equation environment so I can mix both, I didn't know that. Simpler and cleaner.

Answer 1

This is one of those times "Latex is smarter than you and you should accept it". Why should these be aligned anyways? They are completely unrelated by the looks of it. If you need them to fit together, put them together in one align, otherwise don't worry; it will look nice anyway. Let Latex place your separate equations, or rewrite the text so that they can all fit in one single align.

BTW: You don't need to and shouldn't wrap align inside an equation environment. If you need subalignment (for example to the right of a left brace {, you should use the aligned environment).

EDIT: it seems you don't want any text between the equations and I understood you incorrectly. this is what you want if you don't need text between the separate equations:

\begin{align}
q_\text{new} &= q \times q(\omega + \Omega) \Delta t \\
v_\text{new} &= v + V \\
\omega_\text{new} &= \omega + \Omega 
\end{align}
