I thought I was doing everything correctly, but clearly not. I want my equations (all whether I use \begin{flalign}
or \begin{equation}
) to be aligned each other (have the same indent), and then when using the flalign
I want the equations to align at the &
sign. I have put in fleqn
in the document class, I have used \mathindent
, however when I use flalign
although the equation itself aligns at the &
marks like it should, the start of the equation does not match the indent of the equation above. Currently I have the following (Excuse the massive preamble I put it in incase something was countering something else or if that is where the issue is):
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,fleqn,titlepage]{report}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\setlength{\mathindent}{1cm}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\label{whatever}
a = b
\end{equation}
words and stuff
\begin{flalign*}
a & = b&
\\
& = c&
\\
& = d&
\end{flalign*}
\end{document}
