3 equations + vertical dots
I think you can simplify a bit and use something like this (from the amsmath package):
\begin{align}
x_{0} &= y + m_{0} \\
x_{1} &= y + m_{1} \\
&\;\;\vdots \notag \\
x_{n} &...

How to align single-digit numbers with multi-digit numbers in multi-line equations?
Use array features. Setting the intercolumn spacing to zero and forcing TeX's automatic spacing around binary relations or operations is simple.
In the second example, which I like better, I also ...
