I have just started using Latex today and I have been looking into how to manually number the paragraphs inside enumeration. I am writing up the solutions to the problems which are not in consecutive order; what I am trying to get looks like the following:
Chapter 8
8.3 Let F = 492 N, x = 33, y = 42
Since we know the magnitude...
(a) ...
...
(b) ...
...
8.12 We know the resultant of two vectors ...

8.15 ...
In the above representation, I would like to have the ability to:
- manually number the problems of each enumerated paragraph (8.3 -> 8.12 -> 8.15)
- and to indent each of the whole paragraph as shown above
I have tried the following code but it automatically numbers each item for me in an increasing order. Could anyone point me how to manually number each item/each paragraph?
\begin{enumerate}
\item
Let $F = 492 N, x = 33, y = 42$\\
Since we know the magnitude...
\item ...
\item ...
\end{enumerate}
