I am trying to align the following equations around the equal sign. What can I do? Thanks! I am using the AMSMath package
$$m\ddot{x}_{1}-K(x_{2}+x_{12})+C(\dot{x}_{12}+\dot{x}_{2})+2C\dot{x}_{1} = fx_{1}$$
$$m\ddot{x}_{2}-K(x_{3}+x_{1})+C(\dot{x}_{1}+\dot{x}_{3})+2C\dot{x}_{2} = fx_{2}$$
$$m\ddot{x}_{3}-K(x_{4}+x_{2})+C(\dot{x}_{2}+\dot{x}_{4})+2C\dot{x}_{3} = fx_{3}$$
The eqnarray environment lets you align equations so that, for example, all of the equals signs "=" line up. To do this, put ampersand "&" signs around the text you want LaTeX to align, e.g. Each equation can be labelled separately, just put the label command after the relevant equation.
The align and align* environments, available through the amsmath package, are used for arranging equations of multiple lines. As with matrices and tables, \\ specifies a line break, and & is used to indicate the point at which the lines should be aligned.
@Mr.EU: in that case you should use equation together with aligned , as in \begin{equation} \label{eqn:eqlabel} \begin{aligned}[b] f(x) &= x^2 , \\ g(x) &= \exp( x ) . \end{aligned} \end{equation} .
\begin{align}
m\ddot{x}_{1}-K(x_{2}+x_{12})+C(\dot{x}_{12}+\dot{x}_{2})+2C\dot{x}_{1} &= fx_{1} \\
m\ddot{x}_{2}-K(x_{3}+x_{1})+C(\dot{x}_{1}+\dot{x}_{3})+2C\dot{x}_{2} &= fx_{2} \\
m\ddot{x}_{3}-K(x_{4}+x_{2})+C(\dot{x}_{2}+\dot{x}_{4})+2C\dot{x}_{3} &= fx_{3}
\end{align}
