If you're using plain TeX, one solution would be something like

   $$
   \leftline{\indent$\displaystyle x+y=z$}
   $$

If you're using LaTeX, it'd be better if you use the "amsmath" package 
with the "fleqn" option and then use the environment 
"\begin{equation*}...\end{equation*} (for unnumbered equation) 
instead of "$$...$$", as in

   ...........

   \usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath}

   ...........
   ...........

   \begin{equation*}
     2x+3y=4z
   \end{equation*}
  
  .............
