I don't think that's right. See the sibling comment, which made it click for me. He is saying the degree of a single term is the sum of the exponents in that term, and the degree of the equation is max(...all term degrees).

Thanks for the comments everyone. I clarified the definition of "degree" in that paragraph, it indeed wasn't well written.
