From the explanation below,
a= -10 and b= -4
3+c i think that the answer.
35
the ratio for the two is 5:7 and you want to find _:49. to get from 7 to 49 you multiply the 7 by 7. because you did that to one side you have to do the same to the other and multiply 5 by 7 which gives you 35
When ur polynomial has more then one variable....and this one does...the degree is the highest term degree
7a^3b^2 ....this term has a degree of 5
2a^4...this term has a degree of 4
4b....this term has a degree of 1
15....this term has a degree of 0
so the highest degree term has a degree of 5....so that is the degree of this polynomial.
now if u just had 1 variable, the degree would be the highest exponent
