Adding Words Together
$begingroup$
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

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
