$7 a^{2} b + 3 b^{2} - a^{2} b$

Step 1

Subtract $a^{2} b$ from $7 a^{2} b$ .

$3 b^{2} + 6 a^{2} b$

Step 2

Identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

$3 b^{2} \to 2$

$6 a^{2} b \to 3$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$3$
