I'm trying to present a equation in this way



Example of Table



I don't know if it's the best way to present this information, but i got that example from a reference guide.

          i suspect that you looking for the following:



          enter image description here



          documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
          usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
          usepackage{array,multirow}

          usepackage{lipsum}
          begin{document}
          lipsum[66]
          [setlengthextrarowheight{1pt}
          begin{tabular}{r c >{$}r<{$:} l}
          multirow[t]{3}{*}{$
          Q_r=dfrac{W}{gammatimes t}
          $} & where & W & Weight \
          & & gamma & Specific weight\
          & & t & Average time
          end{tabular}
          ]
          lipsum[66]
          end{document}

          • Yes, this is what i was looking for. Can you elaborate on what does [setlengthextrarowheight{1pt}?

            [ and ] are delimiters for math environment (equivalent for begin{equation*} and end{equation}. with setlengthextrarowheight{1pt} is added vertical space of 1pt above cells' contents. you can omit this space, if you like to have more dense text in tabular.

          Here's a solution that uses a single array environment.



          enter image description here



          documentclass{article}
          usepackage{amsmath,array}
          newcolumntype{L}{>{$}l<{$}}
          begin{document}
          [
          Q_r=frac{W}{gammatimes t} qquadtext{where}qquad
          begin{array}[t]{@{} r<{colon} L @{}}
          W & Weight \
          gamma & Specific weight\
          t & Average time
          end{array}
          ]
          end{document}

            I read this post and got this



            documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
            usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
            usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
            begin{document}
            begin{tabular}{rcl}
            $Q_r=dfrac{W}{gamma times t}$& where & begin{tabular}{rl}
            &\
            &\
            $W$:&Weight\
            $gamma$:&Specific weight\
            $t$:&Average time
            end{tabular}
            end{tabular}
            end{document}


            But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.

            • The reason for the whitespace above the tabular environment is that the tabular environment comprises 5 rather than just 3 rows, with the first two rows being left empty. Assuming you wanted to keep using nested tabular environments, the best way to get rid of the unwanted whitespace is to replace both instances of begin{tabular} with begin{tabular}[t], i.e., to require top-alignment, and to get rid of the two blank rows. Do note that you don't actually need the "outer" tabular environment. Just encase formula and its legend in a display-math environment.

                    I read this post and got this



                    documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
                    usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
                    usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
                    begin{document}
                    begin{tabular}{rcl}
                    $Q_r=dfrac{W}{gamma times t}$& where & begin{tabular}{rl}
                    &\
                    &\
                    $W$:&Weight\
                    $gamma$:&Specific weight\
                    $t$:&Average time
                    end{tabular}
                    end{tabular}
                    end{document}


                    But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.

                    • The reason for the whitespace above the tabular environment is that the tabular environment comprises 5 rather than just 3 rows, with the first two rows being left empty. Assuming you wanted to keep using nested tabular environments, the best way to get rid of the unwanted whitespace is to replace both instances of begin{tabular} with begin{tabular}[t], i.e., to require top-alignment, and to get rid of the two blank rows. Do note that you don't actually need the "outer" tabular environment. Just encase formula and its legend in a display-math environment.
