How to get line breaks in equation when knitting to pdf?

I'm trying to knit a document that has an equation in it and I would like the equation to respect linebreaks. This works fine when I knit to HTML but does not when I knit to pdf.

$$ 
x_1 - ? +\\
x_2 - ? +\\
x_3 - ? +\\
$$

I've also tried \newline and even \hfill \break. I also tried the different latex engines listed on the RMarkdown cheat sheet at RStudio.

Use Latex code:

\begin{aligned}
x_1 - ? + \\
x_2 - ? + \\
x_3 - ? + 
\end{aligned}

If you do not want a numbered equation, use

\begin{aligned}
x_1 - ? + \nonumber \\
x_2 - ? + \nonumber \\
x_3 - ? + \nonumber
\end{aligned}

This works in HTML and PDF.
