Please Help me solve this equation: 
find the degree of:
5xy2z3 
Thanks !
 
Just write it without any exponents:

5xy2z3 =

5·x·y·y·z·z·z

Now count the total number of variables (letters) that are multiplied
together when you write it out like that.  (Don't count the numerical
coefficient 5.)  I count 6 letters there. So 6 is the degree of that
monomial.
