$5 s^{6} t^{2} + 6 s t^{9} - 8 s^{6} t^{2} - 6 t^{7}$

Step 1

Subtract $8 s^{6} t^{2}$ from $5 s^{6} t^{2}$ .

$- 3 s^{6} t^{2} + 6 s t^{9} - 6 t^{7}$

Step 2

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

$- 3 s^{6} t^{2} \to 8$

$6 s t^{9} \to 10$

$- 6 t^{7} \to 7$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$10$
