Answer:
- leading coefficient: 2
- degree: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a term with one variable is the exponent of the variable. The degrees of the terms (in the same order) are ...
6, 0, 7, 1
The highest-degree term is 2x^7. Its coefficient is the "leading" coefficient, because it appears first when the polynomial terms are written in decreasing order of their degree:
2x^7 -7x^6 -18x -4
The leading coefficient is 2; the degree is 7.

<em>Additional comment</em>
When a term has more than one variable, its degree is the sum of the exponents of the variables. The term xy, for example, is degree 2.
That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
I don’t really no this answer? Sorry
