Answer:

10t + 400 would be the answer.

Explanation:

every hour, there would be 10 gallons added to the pool, so time should be the letter "t" in the equation.

Also, there's already 400 gallons of water existing in the pool, so we need to add 400 gallons.

Therefore, 10t + 400 would be the answer.
