Step-by-step explanation

The degree of a polynomial expression is the maximum of all the degrees of the terms in the expression.

The given expression is:


4x^3y^5a+7bc

The first term in the expression has a degree of:


\begin{gathered} 3+5+1 \\ \\ 9 \end{gathered}

The second term in the expression has a degree of:


\begin{gathered} 1+1 \\ \\ 2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the degree of the expression is 9.
