Hi,
How about using a table? You can set the column widths so that the equations
are as far apart or close together as possible and the rows will always line
up.

Hello All,
LyX is great! It's helped me so much already! Regrettably, as you
learn the power of LyX, the more you can be obsessive about tiny little
details, so here's mine.
I'm doing some math homework and I've been laying out my homework
brilliantly with the Insert->Math->align. The two cool blue 'type-in'
areas pop up and I enter "x+y" in the first and "=z" in the 2nd. With
CTRL+M I can add more blue pairs and that's how I lay out my equations (
is that the LyX Way (tm) ? ).
But on some homework we're obligated to do a "check". What I would like
to do is have:
(it's painful to re-lay this out after having the power of LyX ;) )
14.
Problem Check {titles should be centered over coulmn}

| x=11-5 | 6+5= |
| x=6 | 11 {underline} |
----------------------------------
I looked at the \multicolumn{} directive but that seems only to 'flow'
text from one col into another.
I also looked at the \{tabbing} environment, but that doesn't seem to
play nice with my math equations.
Does anyone have an example of this that I could take a look at, or is
there a Better Way?
Thanks!
Steven
