I want to prepare a book with many chapters (and sections), notes, exercises and linked solutions at the end of the book . I decided to adopt the example from on matching enumerated exercises with their answer. However, I want to display points per question part as shown here . The exam package

I am not familiar with the answer package but would propose a solution to add score points consisting of three parts:

1. Use of a displayed math environment with tag to display the appropriate score (additional benefit: remove need for endless displaystyle calls).


2. Redefine the tag format to use brackets instead of parentheses () (possible with the mathtools package).


3. Tweak from this answer to get the displayed math to appear on the same line as the item number.

Further adjustment may be required to suit your tastes. For starters, I would personally suggest adding at least leftmargin=* in the enumerate environment options in order to give your equations a bit more space (you may also wish to experiment with the fleqn option of the amsmath package).

Additional code for your preamble:

usepackage{mathtools}

% Change tag form to brackets 

newtagform{brackets}{[}{]}

usetagform{brackets}

% Tweak to have displayed math appear on same line as item. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/58145

newcommandItem[1]{%

  ifxrelax#1relax  item else item[#1] fi

  abovedisplayskip=0ptabovedisplayshortskip=0pt~vspace*{-baselineskip}}

Example use:

 begin{ex}

 begin{multicols}{2} % Changed from 3

 begin{Solutionsublist}

 begin{enumerate}[label=(alph*)]

 % Optional - give equations a bit more room with leftmargin=*

 %begin{enumerate}[leftmargin=*,label=(alph*)] 

 Item 

 begin{equation}

    frac{1}{(x - 1)(x - 2)}tag{1}

 end{equation}

 begin{solitem}

    $displaystyle{frac{1}{x - 2} - frac{1}{x - 1}}$

 end{solitem}

end{enumerate}

end{Solutionsublist}

end{multicols}

end{ex}

Note only 2 columns of equations sensibly fit (I've also left the solutions unchanged - you may want to change how you format these as well).

Example output:

This approach has the benefit that you can label each equation and retrieve the score at any time easily with eqref.
