$7 x^{6} - 6 x^{5} + 2 x^{3} + x - 8$

Step 1

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

$7 x^{6} \to 6$

$- 6 x^{5} \to 5$

$2 x^{3} \to 3$

$x \to 1$

$- 8 \to 0$

Step 2

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$6$
