If I want to write multiple equations in the same line in displaymath mode, I would do something like this:
\[
a + b = c
\qquad\text{and}\qquad
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\]
But I know it's not good to rely on manual spacing. Is there a better way to get the same effect?

I think your solution is fine, in particular, since it is only one line of equations. Other than that, groups of equations next to each other can be obtained with
align
, oralignat
from theamsmath
package. Note however, that these two environments add more space above and below the equations. Compare:leading to
