\begin{multline}
some equation
\end{multline}
is:
equation (number)
How can I change it this way:
(number) equation

Pass the option leqno
to your document class, to be used by the class and also inherited by packages, such as the amsmath
package. It would already work if you would specify the option directly to amsmath

\documentclass[leqno]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
