Hi all,
I'd like to have an explanation to the left of each equation, something like
this:
2x +4 = 3x -14 Given
2x +4 - 4 = 3x - 14 -4 Subtract 4 from each side
2x = 3x - 18 Simplify
2x - 3x = 3x - 18 - 3x Subtract 3x from each side
-1x = -18 Simplify
x = 18 Multiply both sides by -1
How do I do that?
Use an array environment or something of the sort. Alternatively, use a
table. Alternatively still, put the whole thing in a quote environment
and define a charstyle that will push its contents flush against the
right margin, or move to a specific spot (using tabs, perhaps:
http://web.mit.edu/answers/latex/formatting/latex_tabs.html). Lots of
options, and which one works for you, well, is up to you.
