Do not use the latex syntax.

Something is broken. AFAIK, this should not give you any number.

Adding [+] is necessary.

I can confirm that there is an extra number. I do not know what is 
causing this. I am not aware of anything in core-mat has changed.

I compiled My Way on mathalign, and everything has an extra number.
