#color(green)("Degree of polynomial " - 3#

#color(green)("No. of terms " - 4#

Explanation:

#12x^3 + 5 + 5x^2 -6x^2 - 3x^3 -9 - x#

#12x^3 - 3x^3 + 5x^2 - 6x^2 - x - 9 + 5, color(purple)(" rearranging like terms together and in the decreasing order of the exponant"#

#9x^3 - x^2 - x - 4, color(purple)(" simplifying"#

#color(green)("Degree of polynomial " - 3#

#color(green)("No. of terms " - 4#
