LaTeX Vertical space and left alignment in Latex

AI Thread Summary
To left align the text in the provided mathematical expressions, the use of the "aligned" environment is suggested. For creating vertical spaces above and below the line stating "Subbing the following expressions...", it is recommended to utilize displayed equations with the text placed in between. This approach enhances clarity and follows standard formatting practices. Additionally, for those interested in sub-numbering equations, the "subequations" environment from the ams-math package is mentioned as a useful tool.

Hi,

How do I left align the text below? Also, how do I create vertical spaces above and below the line stating "Subbing the following expressions..."? Could you please help me with it?To derive 14(ii) m_{0} \gamma^{2} \frac{d^{2} y}{d t^{2}}=e E_{y}^{\prime} from 13(ii) m_{0} \frac{d^{2} y^{\prime}}{d t^{\prime 2}}=e E_{y}^{\prime}, should I proceed as follows.

<br /> \begin{aligned}<br /> &amp;\frac{d^{2} y^{\prime}}{d\left(t^{\prime}\right)^{2}}=\frac{d t}{d t^{\prime}} \frac{d}{d t}\left[\frac{d t}{d t^{\prime}} \frac{d y^{\prime}}{d t}\right]\\<br /> &amp;\text { Subbing the following expressions in the expression above. }\\<br /> &amp;y^{\prime}=y \text { and } \frac{d t}{d t^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{\gamma\left(1-\frac{v}{c^{2}} \frac{d y}{d t}\right)}<br /> \end{aligned}<br />

It is not fully clear to me what you want. I would probably use two displayed equations, with the "Subbing..." line in between, like so:
---
$$
\frac{d^{2} y^{\prime}}{d\left(t^{\prime}\right)^{2}}=\frac{d t}{d t^{\prime}} \frac{d}{d t}\left[\frac{d t}{d t^{\prime}} \frac{d y^{\prime}}{d t}\right]
$$
Substituting the following expressions
$$
y^{\prime}=y \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{d t}{d t^{\prime}}=\frac{1}{\gamma\left(1-\frac{v}{c^{2}} \frac{d y}{d t}\right)}
$$
in the expression above...

I think this is the more standard way to format it. Incidentally, if you want to use sub-numbered equations (e.g. 1a, 1b, etc.) with text in between, look at the "subequations" environment of the ams-math package.
