England 1, Germany 4
At the football World Cup in South Africa, the England team lost to Germany 1-4 and so was eliminated from the tournament.
In the equations below, each of the integers 1 to 9 has been replaced consistently by a different letter, in such a way that: (E x N x G x L x A x N x D)/(G x E x R x M x A x N x Y) = ¼ and (E+N+G+L+A+N+D) – (G+E+R+M+A+N+Y) = 1 – 4.
What is the numerical value of A+N+G+L+E+D?
