I am giggling at how you edited the OP to have you giving the right answer instead of your friend.

Ah, it's not a plus symbol, the answer IS 30 and I probably should go to bed.

It's -30.
Due to BODMAS you resolve the 6x6 first, then do the subtraction, so it comes out as
6-6x6=
6-36=-30

I'd say -30 based on how it is presented.
Remembering my BIDMAS (Brackets, Indices, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction)
So Multiplication would come first i.e -6x6 which equals -36.
Plugging that back in gives us 6-36 = -30.
