$- 56 a^{2} y^{3} + 23 a^{2} y - 29 a + 17$

Step 1

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

$- 56 a^{2} y^{3} \to 5$

$23 a^{2} y \to 3$

$- 29 a \to 1$

$17 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$5$
