In order to obtain a single expression for B.M. which will apply across the complete beam in this case it is convenient to take the origin for x at the centre, then:

In some cases it is not convenient to commence the integration procedure with the B.M. equation since this may be difficult to obtain. In such cases it is often more convenient to commence with the equation for the loading at the general point X X on the beam. A typical example follows:
