Labeling Equations

[Cubist]

Is there a preferred way to label equations on this site? Here's my best effort, using...

[math]a+b=3 \, \enclose{box}{A}[/math]

[math]a+b=3 \, \enclose{box}{A}[/math][math]a-b=1 \, \enclose{box}{B}[/math]
A+B gives: [math]2a=4[/math]

Not that I know of............................... make up as we go. We are all very creative here............... didn't you know!!

Hey, Cubist. Preferred by whom? (There isn't a 'same page' here, on which all the regulars can get. We've tried some stuff in the past, and we discovered there's no will for the general idea.)

I think your labels are quite fine, although the graphic artist in me changed your \, spacings to \quad.

For those members who don't use LaTeX, you may type something like

a + b = 3 . . . . . . . . (1)
a - b = 1 . . . . . . . . . (2)

Same page? I'm always on the opposite side that SK is on.

That's why you are always lost ..... Nobody can show me the way .......

Can anybody tell me where Ted put the paper shredder?

I don't prefer the above, because despite the presence of the boxes, their
relative extreme nearness to the equations makes me think of these below,
instead of their intended role of labeling two equations:

a + b = 3A
a - b = 1B

I agree with lookagain.
