The correct answer is:
91
$-(6+i)^{3}=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow \quad-\left[216+i^{3}+18 i(6+i)\right]=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow \quad-[216-i+108 i-18]=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow \quad-216+i-108 i+18=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow-198-107 i=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow \quad x=-198, y=-107$
$\Rightarrow \quad y-x=-107+198=91$
$\Rightarrow \quad-\left[216+i^{3}+18 i(6+i)\right]=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow \quad-[216-i+108 i-18]=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow \quad-216+i-108 i+18=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow-198-107 i=x+i y$
$\Rightarrow \quad x=-198, y=-107$
$\Rightarrow \quad y-x=-107+198=91$
