Step 1.1.1

Apply the distributive property.

$10 - 5 (9 n) - 5 \cdot - 9$

Step 1.1.2

Multiply $9$ by $- 5$ .

$10 - 45 n - 5 \cdot - 9$

Step 1.1.3

Multiply $- 5$ by $- 9$ .

$10 - 45 n + 45$

Step 1.2

Add $10$ and $45$ .

$- 45 n + 55$

Step 2

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

$- 45 n \to 1$

$55 \to 0$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$1$
