    Are you coding in TeX or LaTeX? If the latter, you should read tex.stackexchange.com/questions/503/why-is-preferable-to.

    TeXlive is your TeX distribution; Texmaker is your IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or, loosely speaking, editor. Those don't dictate which TeX format (plain TeX, LaTeX, etc.) you use.

    @DeepeshPatel Can you show an example of code?

    \begin{proof} Also we have $$x+2y-5z=9$$ and $$3x+5y-8z=0,$$ where $x,y,z>0$. \end{proof}

    @DeepeshPatel Please edit your question and add the code there, not in a comment. Also, if you indent lines by 4 spaces or enclose words in backticks `, they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it).

The use of $$...$$ is depricated in LaTeX. Instead you should use \[...\].

You can change the spacing before an after by doing something along the following lines:

  \abovedisplayskip0pt                                                 
  \belowdisplayskip0pt                                                 
  \abovedisplayshortskip0pt                                            
  \belowdisplayshortskip0pt                                            
  \[x+2y-5z=0\]
