$3 x^{2} y + 4 x y^{2} - 6 x^{2} y + 7 y$

Step 1

Subtract $6 x^{2} y$ from $3 x^{2} y$ .

$- 3 x^{2} y + 4 x y^{2} + 7 y$

Step 2

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

$- 3 x^{2} y \to 3$

$4 x y^{2} \to 3$

$7 y \to 1$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$3$
