I try to use \makebox around the word, however, all text in the same line, why? Here is my code, would someon help me?

\fbox{\makebox[10cm]{$(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{\leq}t_{FS}){\land}(t_{FS}{\leq}t_{BS}){\land}(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{+}t_{FS}{+}t_{BS}{\leq}3)$\\

$(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{\leq}t_{BS}){\land}(t_{BS}{\leq}t_{FS}){\land}(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{+}t_{FS}{+} t_{BS}{\leq}3)$\\

For more on boxes (and (La)TeX's interpretation of them), I recommend that you read Section 6.6 of l2short. You can get it online at texdoc.net/pkg/lshort or you'll probably have a copy on your computer. – Andrew Stacey Aug 17 '12 at 11:29

normal boxes cannot have a linebreak, use

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{10cm}$(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{\leq}t_{FS}){\land}(t_{FS}{\leq}t_{BS}){\land}(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{+}t_{FS}{+}t_{BS}{\leq}3)$\\

$(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{\leq}t_{BS}){\land}(t_{BS}{\leq}t_{FS}){\land}(t_{SS}{+}t_{MS}{+}t_{FS}{+} t_{BS}{\leq}3)$\\
\end{minipage}}

or \fbox{\parbox{10cm}{...}}
