$2 x^{2} y - 4 x^{5} y^{7} + 14 x y + 3$

Step 1

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

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

$- 4 x^{5} y^{7} \to 12$

$14 x y \to 2$

$3 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$12$
