Find the Degree 13x^2-6x=21

$13 x^{2} - 6 x = 21$

Step 1

Subtract $21$ from both sides of the equation.

$13 x^{2} - 6 x - 21 = 0$

Step 2

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

$13 x^{2} \to 2$

$- 6 x \to 1$

$- 21 \to 0$

Step 3

The largest exponent is the degree of the polynomial.

$2$
