Tables to present equations and their elements
I'm trying to present a equation in this way

I don't know if it's the best way to present this information, but i got that example from a reference guide.

i suspect that you looking for the following:

documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
usepackage{array,multirow}
usepackage{lipsum}
begin{document}
lipsum[66]
[setlengthextrarowheight{1pt}
begin{tabular}{r c >{$}r<{$:} l}
multirow[t]{3}{*}{$
Q_r=dfrac{W}{gammatimes t}
$} & where & W & Weight \
& & gamma & Specific weight\
& & t & Average time
end{tabular}
]
lipsum[66]
end{document}
Yes, this is what i was looking for. Can you elaborate on what does[setlengthextrarowheight{1pt}?

[and]are delimiters for math environment (equivalent forbegin{equation*}andend{equation}. withsetlengthextrarowheight{1pt}is added vertical space of 1pt above cells' contents. you can omit this space, if you like to have more dense text intabular.

I read this post and got this
documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{rcl}
$Q_r=dfrac{W}{gamma times t}$& where & begin{tabular}{rl}
&\
&\
$W$:&Weight\
$gamma$:&Specific weight\
$t$:&Average time
end{tabular}
end{tabular}
end{document}
But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.
The reason for the whitespace above thetabularenvironment is that thetabularenvironment comprises 5 rather than just 3 rows, with the first two rows being left empty. Assuming you wanted to keep using nestedtabularenvironments, the best way to get rid of the unwanted whitespace is to replace both instances ofbegin{tabular}withbegin{tabular}[t], i.e., to require top-alignment, and to get rid of the two blank rows. Do note that you don't actually need the "outer"tabularenvironment. Just encase formula and its legend in a display-math environment.

I read this post and got this
documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{rcl}
$Q_r=dfrac{W}{gamma times t}$& where & begin{tabular}{rl}
&\
&\
$W$:&Weight\
$gamma$:&Specific weight\
$t$:&Average time
end{tabular}
end{tabular}
end{document}
But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.
The reason for the whitespace above thetabularenvironment is that thetabularenvironment comprises 5 rather than just 3 rows, with the first two rows being left empty. Assuming you wanted to keep using nestedtabularenvironments, the best way to get rid of the unwanted whitespace is to replace both instances ofbegin{tabular}withbegin{tabular}[t], i.e., to require top-alignment, and to get rid of the two blank rows. Do note that you don't actually need the "outer"tabularenvironment. Just encase formula and its legend in a display-math environment.
