How to left align the cases in Latex?
3
I am using WinEdt. And trying to run the following code. However, the second item is coming in the middle. Can we align it to appear on the extreme left like the point (i)? Kindly help. Thanks a lot for the help.
begin{enumerate}[(i)]
item Statement 1.
item begin{equation}
X_r = begin{cases}
2r-2, & text{for $k = 1$,}\
2r-3, & text{otherwise}.
end{cases}
end{equation}
end{enumerate}

Try in-line math instead. Note: this will not number your cases.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{enumerate}
usepackage{amsmath}
begin{document}
begin{enumerate}[(i)]
item Statement 1.
item $X_r = begin{cases}
2r-2, & text{for $k = 1$,}\
2r-3, & text{otherwise}.
end{cases}$
end{enumerate}

Another alternative for JouleV solution would be to use flalign from amsmath as in
documentclass{article}
usepackage{enumerate}
usepackage{amsmath}
begin{document}
begin{enumerate}[(i)]
item Statement 1.
item begin{flalign}X_r& = begin{cases}
2r-2, & text{for $k = 1$,}\

This leaves some very ugly vertical spacing, though.

@Peiffap Because this new environment will introduce vertical spacing for the sake of alignment itself.

You can define generally a left align of the math mode using fleqn in your documentclass as a option.
Afterwards you need to setlengthmathindent{0pt}
