for equnarray: 
http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/equnarray/equnarray.phtml

it is not possible to have it left aligned, it is still rcl

One solution is to use an array:
- ctrl-m-d and then insert from the mathpanel an array
   with l (only one column).
Another (better) solution is to use amsmath flalign:
- Insert->Math->AMS flalign
   you'll get one line with two columns. Leave the second
   empty and insert your first line of the formula in the
   first column. When finished hit ctrl-enter to get a new line.
   now do the same ...
