# Positioning Multiple labeled equations in minipage

I have been playing around with minipage to fit 3 equations on the same line. I want all equations to be individually labelled and on the same line but as the leftmost equation starts too far in the rightmost equation is pushed off the page. I would like to replicate the second image below but keep getting the first. I have tried flushleft and \centred but they did not help.

    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\section{Equations}

\noindent\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
$$T = \frac{F}{bh} \label{1}$$
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
$$S = \frac{\epsilon}{l} \label{2}$$
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
$$E = \frac{V_c}{h} \label{3}$$
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

• Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. – albert Jul 18 '18 at 11:05
• You have three minipages that each is half the width of the text block next to each other, so naturally the last one pokes into the right margin. Try 0.33\linewidth instead. – Torbjørn T. Jul 18 '18 at 11:37

0.5 times three is 1.5, so the three minipages next to each other is 1.5 times as wide as the text block. Use 0.33\linewidth instead for the minipage widths.

You might also want a bit of space after the minipages, for example a \medskip.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{lipsum} % for dummy text
\begin{document}
\section{Equations}
\noindent\begin{minipage}{0.33\linewidth}
$$T = \frac{F}{bh} \label{1}$$
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{0.33\linewidth}
$$S = \frac{\epsilon}{l} \label{2}$$
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}{0.33\linewidth}
$$E = \frac{V_c}{h} \label{3}$$
\end{minipage}

\medskip

\lipsum[1]

\end{document}
