The following Roman numeral equation is of course incorrect.
Make the equation correct by moving exactly one letter anywhere. You must place that letter in the equation (cannot remove it). You can be creative.
Of course "not equal to" or > or < is not allowed.

Move the 'v' within the M, then flip the equation. Allow Roman on one side, Arabic on the other with ^ as the exponent sign

Ah, This makes sense given the suspicious amount of space between the 'L' and the 'I'

Move the L, rotate and shrink it and stick it between the last two II's, making an M leaving I = M - IM
