# [Tex/LaTex] Aligning using flushleft and flushright

alignhorizontal alignment

I am trying to create one column to the left side by side with another column to the right. The column to the left is labeled "Examples of like terms:" and the column to the right is labeled "Examples of unlike terms:"

Here is my work so far:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\title{Algebra}
\maketitle

\section{Like Terms}

\begin{flushleft}
\textbf{Examples of like terms:} \\
$3x$ and $5x$ \\
$4y^2$ and $9y^2$ \\
$7xy$ and $3xy$ \\
$6$ and $15$
\end{flushleft}

\begin{flushright}
\textbf{Examples of unlike terms:} \\
$2x$ and $8y$ \\
$4t^2$ and $4t^3$ \\
$x^2y$ and $xy^2$ \\
$12$ and $12x$
\end{flushright}

\end{document}


Use the minipage environment:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\title{Algebra}
\maketitle
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\begin{flushleft}
\textbf{Examples of like terms:} \\
$3x$ and $5x$ \\
$4y^2$ and $9y^2$ \\
$7xy$ and $3xy$ \\
$6$ and $15$
\end{flushleft}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
\begin{flushright}
\textbf{Examples of unlike terms:} \\
$2x$ and $8y$ \\
$4t^2$ and $4t^3$ \\
$x^2y$ and $xy^2$ \\
$12$ and $12x$
\end{flushright}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
