One other "quick and dirty" option that I don't think has been mentioned is to key the 'grave accent' character (0060, located to the left of the 1 on my keyboard) and change its font to 'Symbol'. This results in a horizontal bar positioned more or less over the character to its right. You can then adjust the font size of the grave accent to line it up over the X a little better. Not perfect, but sometimes a little easier than invoking the equation editor.
