Adding Words Together

No matter how far I've roamed, I've never found anything quite as perplexing as this puzzle. Perhaps you can help me find the missing numeral in the last line.



EXIT + LAX = 71
BROCCOLI + MASSIVE = 1205
SCANDAL + CLIENT = 601
DELIGHT + EMULSIVE = 1605
ADVISE + NAVY = 511
SIX + CANDLE = 459
DECEIT + DECEIVE = 1205
MEDIA + ALIVE = ?


Suggestions for improvement welcome

    Could the first line be correctly written as "EXIT + LAX = 701"?

The missing step is to




Remove extra letters so that the words can be read as Roman numerals.




The equations are




EXIT + LAX = XI + LX = 11 + 60 = 71

BROCCOLI + MASSIVE = CCLI + MIV = 251 + 1004 = 1255 (???)

SCANDAL + CLIENT = CDL + CLI = 450 + 151 = 601

DELIGHT + EMULSIVE = DLI + MLIV = 551 + 1054 = 1605

ADVISE + NAVY = DVI + V = 506 + 5 = 511

SIX + CANDLE = IX + CDL = 9 + 450 = 459

DECEIT + DECEIVE = DCI + DCIV = 601 + 604 = 1205




So the answer is




MEDIA + ALIVE = MDI + LIV = 1501 + 54 = 1555
