I am new in LaTeX, thus I need your help.
I want to align the \leq
symbol under the +
symbol. The problem is that the +
symbol is contained inside a fraction, therefore, the \begin{aligned}--\end{aligned}
environment, does not allow me to insert the &
symbol inside this certain fraction.
How can I achieve this without having any problems?
An example:
$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}
\sqrt{\frac{2x}{y **&+** z}}+\sqrt{\frac{2y}{z+x}}+\sqrt{\frac{2z}{x+y}}\\
&\leq 3.
\end{aligned}$
P.S I have searched the site but I haven't found anything similar with my problem. (maybe I am not searching, right?)

I would recommend a different approach and that is to use an
\hphantom
to insert the appropriate amount of horizontal space:Notes:
\hphantom
instead of\phantom
as I did not want the vertical size of\sqrt{{\frac{2x}{y **}}}
to affect the second row.\sqrt
andfrac
are not usually this easy to do, and David's solution was quite clever in moving it outside and inserting a negative\hspace
. I personally would never have thought of that as I tend to think of alignment form the left moving towards the right.Code:
