I've been using the \begin{align*} and \end{align*} but my solutions are always centered on the page.  I would like them on the left--next to the problem number.  Is there a way (or different command) to "uncenter" my solutions?

Do you need it centered or will this do (memoir not important)

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

\begin{itemize}
\item
\displaystyle \begin{aligned}[t] f'(x)&=(\sin x3)(3x2)\\ &=3x2 \sin x3 \end{aligned}
\item
\displaystyle \begin{aligned}[t] f'(x)&=(x+2)(x+3)\\ &=x2+5x+6 \end{aligned}
\end{itemize}

\end{document}
