How do I fix this overfull warning that is caused by the inline math equation? When I used \sloppy on the paragraph related, underfull warning appeared instead. I've included a MWE below. If it helps, I use lualatex.

\documentclass{report}

\begin{document}
Firstly, the processing time in the Client-side Mobile Application is calculated by
substracting the end time with the start time, such as $ProcessingTime = EndTime - StartTime$
using the help of an API in React Native.
\end{document}

Here are some possibilities:

  • Live with over- and underful boxes as long as they are not too bad.

  • Rephrase the sentence to allow for better line breaks.

  • Replace inline math by displayed math.

Unrelated: as noted by @Willoughby in the comments, it is better to use \mathit for words in math mode that signify variables.

enter image description here

Firstly, the processing time in the Client-side Mobile Application is calculated by substracting the start from the end
time, $\mathit{ProcessingTime} = \mathit{EndTime} - \mathit{StartTime}$, using the help of an API in React
Native.
