How to align equations to the left












3















I have this equation on Overleaf that aligns to the right instead of the left. I have followed instructions on other questions found here but it doesn't work.



{setlength{abovedisplayskip}{0pt}%
begin{flalign}
-frac{tau}{2} sum (x_n - mu)^2 -b_0tau -frac{lambda_0tau}{2} (mu - mu_0)^2 \
= -frac{tau}{2}sum(x_n^2 + mu^2 - 2x_nmu) - b_0tau - frac{lambda_0tau}{2}(mu^2 + mu_0^2 - 2mumu_0)\
= -frac{tau}{2}(sum x_n^2 + Nmu^2 - 2musum x_n) - b_0tau - frac{lambda_0tau}{2}(mu^2 + mu_0^2 - 2mumu_0)
end{flalign}%
}%

How can I align to the left?
