I am currently using split inside the align environment similar to the following example
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
\begin{split}
a1 & = 3534534343 \\
a2 & = 2342342 \\
a3 & = 4564564 \\
a4 & = 5845645645864596464 \\
a5 & = 345354 \\
a6 & = 1
\end{split}
\end{align}
\end{document}
However I would like to have all these equations flushed to the left along with the property that there is single numbering for the system of equations (this is the reason for using the split). I can use the flalign environment without split but it gives numbering to all the individual equations
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{flalign}
a1 & = 3534534343 & \\
a2 & = 2342342 \\
a3 & = 4564564 \\
a4 & = 5845645645864596464 \\
a5 & = 345354 \\
a6 & = 1
\end{flalign}
\end{document}
I am unable to use the split inside flalign as it gives me an error. Is there an easy way to do this?
&
inside the splitm, then no,split
only allows up to one&
per row. There is no build in inner companion for flalign` like there is foralign
andgather
. Perhaps you should try and explain exactly what it is you are trying to do and why you'll needflalign
for that? I all the books I've setup I have never once usedflalign

? IMO it is much less readable thanalign
