(6 - 6) x 6 = 0
6 - (6 x 6) = -30

It all depends on the order of precedence of the operators - and x. Traditionally multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction hence the answer is -30. Lots of people make the mistake that you apply the operators from left to right, probably because we read that way, but actually you do multiplication and division first, then adding and subtracting.
