I have tried going into math mode, then entering the following:

\[
f: \left(
\begin{split}
    y = &&\\
    & f(x) +\\
    && +g(x)
\end{split}
\right)
\]
\end{document}

which actually shows what I want in LyX, but then gives LaTeX errors.

It seems I will have little choice but to learn LaTeX math editing in depth, which I had hope to avoid by using LyX.

Can someone give me a step-by-step instruction on how to enter an equation in LyX using LaTex code that doesn't give errors? From there I will go about learning LaTeX to get the effects I want. But at this point there is something I don't understand about getting LyX to digest it in the first place.

In other words, do you go into math mode, or type in ERT mode?

In math mode, the above code turns into LyX WYSIWYM math editing. This is a problem because it is then impossible to see the text LateX code underneath.

Clues as to what is going on would be appreciated.

Finally, can \usepackage{amsmath} be used in LyX?

Thanks.
