I'm a LaTeX beginner and would like to have two equations aligned on the equals symbol which is working fine so far. Now, between these two equations I need a line of text. But LaTeX interprets this as a math formula since it's showing a (2) right next to it. I would like to have it as normal text without a (2) aligned on the far left. I have already tried things like
\begin{flushleft} line of text \end{flushleft}
but it's not working, maybe because I'm using it inside an {align} environment. Not sure if it's important to mention but I'm using Overleaf (online LaTeX editor).
\begin{align} \tilde{w}_{ij} &= \begin{cases} w_{ij} & \text{mit $P(i)$}\\ 0 & \text{sonst} \end{cases}\\ \text{This text be on the far left}\\ \tilde{w}_{ij} &= w_{ij} * P(i) \end{align} produces this ->

This sounds like a job for \intertext from amsmath:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{mathtools} \begin{document} \begin{align} \tilde{w}_{ij} &= \begin{cases} w_{ij} & \text{mit $P(i)$}\\ 0 & \text{sonst} \end{cases}\\ \intertext{This text be on the far left} \tilde{w}_{ij} &= w_{ij} * P(i) \end{align} \end{document}
