$27 + 3 x y^{3} - 12 x^{2} y^{2} - 10 y$

Step 1

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

$27 \to 0$

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

$- 12 x^{2} y^{2} \to 4$

$- 10 y \to 1$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$4$
