Is there a way to align multiple equations so the equators are underneath each other using MathJax?
For example:
2x - 4 = 6
2x = 10
x = 5

Use the aligned environment and the & symbol.
e.g.
$$\begin{aligned} 2x - 4 &= 6 \\ 2x &= 10 \\ x &= 5 \end{aligned}$$
I inserted & in front of = of each line so that the horizontal positions of =s will be the same for all the lines.
If you do not need such horizontal alignment, you can use gathered environment instead of aligned environment without &. It will horizontally center all the lines.

What about multiple alignment points? Is it possible with MathJax? – Hosein Rahnama Sep 26 '22 at 08:32

should this not be \begin{align}? e.g. https://marquis08.github.io/mathjax/minimalmistakes/align-equations-in-mathjax/ – Misrab Dec 20 '22 at 07:06

@Misrab In normal LaTeX, the `align` environment adds eq. numbering. The example equations do not have them. – Naetmul Dec 21 '22 at 04:15
