With the following one will get the equation to left.

But how give the equation an indentation?

You can simply wrap equations in a pad element using a show rule. I would also recommend only applying the show-set rule to block equations as otherwise, inline equations might be put in a new paragraph when the surrounding paragraph isn’t already left-aligned.

#show math.equation.where(block: true): pad.with(left: 1cm)
#show math.equation.where(block: true): set align(left)
