To place a black square before equations while also displaying line numbers in LaTeX, the amssymb package must be included with the command \usepackage{amssymb}. The specific command for the black square is \blacksquare. To achieve the desired formatting of having the black square on the left side of the equation and the equation number on the right, additional customization is required, particularly for only a select few equations. The discussion emphasizes the urgency of the request due to an impending deadline for a term paper.

Hi everyone,

I BADLY BADLY need to place a \blacksquare before my equations AND also have line numbers, as shown in the sample attachment.

Someone please let me know how this can be done. My term paper is due in 2 hours!

Thanks,
Vivek

\blacksquare

is the command


and you need the package amssymb called at the start.
\usepackage{amssymb}
 
Yes, I knew the command (as stated in my post) and the package. But as I said, I needed to place the blacksquare on the left of the equation, and also simultaneously display the correct equation number on the right hand side. Oh and I forgot to mention that I had to do this only for a few equations (the key results).

Thanks anyway.
