Math & Science ⇒ Vertical Spacing between equations

[bpetersen]

I am using AMSmath package. When I have code like:

Code: Select all

\begin{align*}
y = & \frac{1}{x}\\
x = & 2z\\
z = & 10
\end{align*}

It gives the y equation a little bit more vertical space then the x and z equation. How do I get all of the equations to have the same amount of vertical space?

Either smash the height of the "\frac" (in which case it may overlap the other lines) or add something like "\vphantom{\frac{1}{x}}" to the other lines, to force the height.

You should also put the "&" before the "=", BTW.
