Answer:

4th degree

Explanation:

When you are looking for the degree of an expression or equation, you just look for the biggest exponent.

Here, there is an

"x to the 4th power",

a "minus3 to the second power" and

a "9x" (which is a power of 1)

So the biggest exponent is 4...4th degree. That's it!
