I've found a way of adding strikeouts to a text.

Use this syntax

hashtag cancel (whatever math you have) hashtag

It'll look like this

$cancel(2+2)$

Without the "#"s, it should look like this

cancel(2 + 2)

Other examples

$"2.05"cancel("m") * "1 something"/("1"cancel("m")) = "2.05 somethings"$

$2.05x + cancel(7) = 102 + cancel(7)$

And so on...
