The degree is the highest exponent (exponent here is defined as the raised power) you see in the polynomial. Here, x^3 has the highest exponent, so the degree would be 3.

For multi-variable polynomials, the degree is defined by finding the term in which the sum of the exponents of the variables is highest.
