10.47.2.1 Force figure placement in text

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=8625

I have a problem when a lot of figures are in question. Some figures tend to "fly around", that is, be a paragraph below, although I placed them before that paragraph. I use code: 
\begin{figure}[ht]

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=73283

10.47.2.4 Big Parenthesis in an Equation

https://tex.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=38868
