Let x be the number of bottles of Coke needed.
The equation is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000x + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
11500 + 1000x = 10000
Subtracting 11500 from both sides, we get:
1000x = -1500
Dividing both sides by 1000, we get:
x = -1.5
Since we can't have negative bottles, this equation does not have the same answer as the word problem.
Make a equation the goes with this word problem and make sure it has the same answer.
I have 1000 milliliters of liquid, which is one liter. I have two liters of soda, which is equivalent to 2000 milliliters. I also have 2.5 liters of apple juice, which is equivalent to 2500 milliliters. There are also 1.5 liters of fruit punch and 2 liters of lemonade available. When I add them all up, we get a total of 8 liters of liquid. But I need 10 liters, So, I will need 2 more. So I could have two bottles of Coke, one of apple juice, one of fruit punch, and one of lemonade.

Don't worry! Let's try again to create an equation that has the same answer as the word problem.
Let x be the number of bottles of Coke needed.
The equation is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000x + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + x = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
14700 + 1000x = 10000
Subtracting 14700 from both sides, we get:
1000x = -4700
Dividing both sides by 1000, we get:
x = -4.7
Again, we can't have negative bottles, so let's try adding only one bottle instead of two:
The equation is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000x + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + x = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
14700 + 1000x = 10000
Subtracting 14700 from both sides, we get:
1000x = -4700
Dividing both sides by 1000, we get:
x = -4.7
So, the equation that has the same answer as the word problem is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000(-4) + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1 = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 -4000+ 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1 = 10000
Adding up all the amounts, we get:
13501
Therefore, we need to add 2 bottles of Coke, 1 of apple juice, 1 of fruit punch, and 1 of lemonade to have a total of 10 liters of liquid.
